Doesn't Download Style.css

[maino22]

I've been trying this a few times and some sites download fine, while others download but is missing the design completely. Content is there but design is off completely. I'm assuming it's just not downloading CSS files.

Am I missing something?

It should have downloaded it but the path to the file is probably broken. The downloaded files are the original ones so if you have something like http://example.com/syle.css in your html files, it won't work because http://example.com/syle.css doesn't exist anymore.

You should upload the files back to your web server to make it work,

I'm not much of a techie person but if I understand you correctly, I won't always be able to download the website with full design because Wayback may not have archived the css files, even though the site looks perfect on Wayback?

If I had to recover a site, where I did not have a local backup and had to rely solely on Wayback, upon recovery, the whole design is missing, what would be another ideal solution?

I could reference specific site if you'd like and email them to you.

Thanks again

Make sure the latest version on wayback has the style.css and looks right, if not, use the optional timestamp flag to get an older version which does - have had to do this a couple of times.

Thanks DevJayM. I have used the timestamp flag many times when it displays perfectly on wayback. I have tried this on a few domains and it seems a bunch of css pages don't download as well, causing the whole structure of the live site to look horrible.

I've tried this on a few domains and some work well, while some others dont.

@maino22 It's probably downloading the css correctly but the path to the css from the html might be broken. For example, it might say http://yourdownwebsite.com/style.css and because the file doesn't exist anymore there, it won't work.

Wayback Machine rewrites the urls on the flight to make it work on their own website, whereas Wayback Machine Downloader downloads the original files in order to be hosted again.

What's the website with the issue?

[maino22]

Thanks @hartator

I'm having issues with the following website .

The website is now live with the downloaded timestamp and you'll notice the format is completely messed up.

Any instructions or help on how I could go about fixing this would be great, as I've seen this with a few sites I've downloaded.

Thanks

@hartator, have you had a chance to look into this issue?

Thanks

[hartator]

@maino22, will try to look into this during the week-end.

Hi @hartator

Some time has gone by. Any chance you were able to look into this for me?

Thanks

noticing the same issue with www.domerama.com (timestamp 20150315151112)

lots of assets(images, css, js) missing, as well as a few .html pages

[hartator]

For www.domerama.com, the assets are downloaded but the paths to them are broken because of the use of absolute urls (ie. http://www.domerama.com/wp-content/themes/suffusion/style.css). It can be fixed by either uploading back the files to www.domerama.com or by finding and replacing every urls with this issue by relative ones. (ie. ./wp-content/themes/suffusion/style.css).

See #26, for an automated solution.

@maino22, I can't find back your domain name with the issue but the odds that this is the similar issue are high, sorry for the delay in the response. Ping me if it's not the case.

I'd like to confirm that trying to download https://web.archive.org/web/20150814160909/http://cadavre-exquis.dragodindons.com/ doesn't download the file http://cadavre-exquis.dragodindons.com/wp-content/themes/CadavreExquis/style.css at all.
I even tried downloading ALL timestamps of the website but find . -type f | grep css doesn't return any match at all.

[hartator]

Is style.css inside Archive.org?
