Hi there,

i’ve set up merx with kirby and now the “css(‘@auto’)” doesn’t work anymore.

CSS files are inside /assets/css/templates and the link tag looks like this inside my header:

```auto
<?= css([
    'assets/css/index.css',
    '@auto'
  ]) ?>

```

btw: “js(‘@auto’)” seems to work fine.

At first sight, I can’t see anything in the merx plugin that should make @auto stop working, there is nothing CSS related at all in that plugin?

Have you installed merx as a plugin into your own project? And did the auto styles work before you installed merx?

Found it 🙂  
I had to add the assets to the index.php inside the public folder:

```auto
<?php
include '../kirby/bootstrap.php';
$kirby = new Kirby([
    'roots' => [
        'index' => __DIR__ ,
        'content' => __DIR__. '/../content',
        'site' => __DIR__. '/../site',
        'assets' => __DIR__. '/../assets',
    ],
]);
echo $kirby->render();

```
