Magento 2 CSS Issue – No CSS After Deleting Pub Folder

deployerrormagento2

I deleted the pub folder of my magento installation.
Then I used

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

and now the site has no CSS at all.
How can I fix that?

Thanks!

Don't delete the entire pub folder. Delete pub/static/* if/when needed.

You are most likely missing three critical files that will not be automatically regenerated:

pub/.htaccess 
pub/media/.htaccess  
pub/static/.htaccess

If you have a backup or a local dev site, I suggest finding and restoring them from there. Otherwise, you can find them in the appropriate branch of the Magento github repository (depending on what version you are running): https://github.com/magento/magento2

Before deleting pub/static make a backup of pub/static/.htaccess and restore it again. otherwise your all css and js will show 404 error!

Remove pub/static (keep the .htaccess backed up and copy it again)
Remove var/cache
Remove var/composer_home
Remove var/generation
Remove var/page_cache
Remove var/view_preprocessed
Run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

You can call your css and js by using Vendorname_Modulename in in the head block. So you need to pass Vendorname_Modulename

Try below code in your layout.xml file :

<head>
        <css src="Vendorname_Modulename/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"/>   
</head>

Make sure your css and js location are correct .

app\design\frontend\Magento\luma\Vendorname_Modulename\web\css\yourcss.css

app\design\frontend\Magento\luma\Vendorname_Modulename\web\js\yourjs.js

After that run below commands :

php bin/magento cache:clean

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
