Hi, I’ve been working on my first EE project and i’m using EE Core 2.6.1 and i’ve run into a bug in the css parsing.

When i use {theme_folder_url} it isn’t converted on other templates when linked via {stylesheet="styles/main"}

It is parsed if you click “View Rendered Template” however if you refresh that page it reverts to normal.

{site_url} works just fine so it’s obviously being parsed through the template parser however it doesn’t want to change this.

Is there a way to fix this bug?

Welcome to the forums.

It’s not usually(?) a good idea to use stuff from the /themes folder in the front end.

I’d recommend either:

1. Use a CSS “template” and use that
2. Use an external CSS file and locate it in an “assets” folder outside of the /themes folder, eg /assets/css/myfile.css

Thanks for the welcome.

Sorry i must have been unclear. My CSS is in a template and is being called via the stylesheet tag. In the css file to link to images I’m using {site_url} currently but the images are actually in the theme folder so i was looking to change that to {theme_folder_url} however that doesn’t seem to parse properly.

I’ve decided to move the images to an assets folder now though but i’d still like to know if a fix were possible?

Ah in that case just reference images like

/myimagefolder/image.png (note the first slash!)

and not {site_url}imagefolder/myimage.png
