Since the past 24 hours my site appears like attached image. No changes have been made. I only take a db backup every 24 hours. Host says everything fine at their end. Ran repair settings twice, still no luck.
The CSS file appears empty.
Try going into Features and Options and disable Minimize CSS and JavaScript files setting so we can check if the regular file is also empty or has some sort of issue.
OK. I did that and it is working now. What should be done next Diego ?
If it's working, leave it like that. You don't need to minimize css and js, your forum will run fine without it.

You can leave it off.
Although it shouldn't be doing this, perhaps some manual edit or a mod caused an issue?
Haven't done anything to the files for a long time now. Maybe when I install the next patch the files will be restored.
Recently had a different problem with minimizing css/js on 2.1.3 upgrade. It caused mobile dropdown menu in custom theme to always remain open, blocking view of forum. Unfortunately minimizing is enabled by default.

No, I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the library that we use. Might be described my

I don't have an environment where I can reproduce the bug.
The site has started generating a lot of errors since disabling the minimize css function.
it says that there is no free disk space
Having no disk space left causes all kinds of random issues. Many, many kinds of computer operations require reading and writing temporary files. If there isn't sufficient space to do that, all sorts of stuff will break. This will affect any process that needs to write data to disk, not just SMF. You should clear some disk space ASAP.
No disk space ? But this just started happening after the above changes. Following are the stats from my CPanel.
I've emptied out some of the things not needed from public_html and an old site backup from the temp cache. I will revert if there are such errors again.
Maybe the cause of this whole issue was the 'no free disk space'.
So I've enabled the Minimize css option. So far, so good.
Some hosts claim to offer "infinite" drive space for their shared hosting plans. But of course it can't actually be infinite. All they really mean is that they dynamically allocate storage space to you rather than assigning a fixed quota of storage space to your account. If anything goes flaky in the process of assigning disk space to you—or more accurately, to the shared host that your account's data is stored on—you might very well see errors about being out of disk space.
If you really are supposed to have unlimited disk space with your account, you might want to talk to your hosting provider to ask them why you have been getting errors about no disk space and to demand that they fix it.
Thanks. I will try to talk to them about it.
For now, I have reverted back to minimize css and things are working well.
Thanks for marking this thread as solved.
