CSS not loading after redirect with htaccess rewrite rule

Question

I have the following Short-hand for a user profile url

RewriteRule ^(\\w+)/?$ ./profile.php?name_of_user=$1

The site is styled with the app

Answer 1

the easiest way to fix this is to specify the full path to your CSS file in the of the HTML file.

If your mod_rewrite rule is modifying the path to where your CSS file is, you'd also want to place this before your RewriteRule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

This makes sure that the request doesn't match a file before rewriting it.
