ok put this in the header, right before the

<?php if(is_page('urchin-cove')): ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?> /css/wikiPage.css">
<?php endif; ?>

didn’t work.

I didn’t notice this until now, but you have a space after the ?> , use this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/css/wikiPage.css">

Some WordPress functions require the echo and some don’t, so it can get confusing. That’s why I like to make sure by looking them up in the WP Codex and seeing a few samples of their use. I apologise if I mistakenly left the echo out here and misled you. The Codex is your friend.

i don’t know…w/friends like that…
& what i find really confusing (& i know this is dumb but) is when i see the function w/an element inside such as

($whatever)

It seems that the dollar sign itself is not required?

But no worries. i did not felt misled thank you for your help & the tip about the non consistent “echo” requirements. I didn’t know that.

Hi,You can add in the article also

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/css/wikiPage.css">

or
Tag - < style>.background{ whatever }</ style>

Sometime u want to load different images on different pages or change the background for every page, then this will be the easiest option.

($whatever)

It seems that the dollar sign itself is not required?

You might be referring to something like function_name($args) . What happens here is that just before the function call, all the needed parameters are listed in an array called $args, and then $args is used in the function instead of listing all of the parameters inside function_name(); So in this case, yes the $ is needed.

Thank you for the explanation.
That helped.
