CSS Affects WordPress Backend

  • I am migrating a custom website to WordPress and when pasting my CSS to style.css, it affects the WP backend and basically ruins it. Any ideas on how to prevent this?

    Thanks.

    What style.css file are you editing? Do not edit files that are wordpress core!

    Hi, thanks for your help. I created a new theme, created the style.css and started working from there. Some changes reflected on the WP backend and I don’t understand why.

    Are you loading/enqueuing your CSS on the back end?

    Not sure, to be honest. It’s my first time with this, I am enqueuing it using the following function from the functions.php file. Without it, my styles wouldn’t load:

    <?php wp_enqueue_style( ‘style’, get_stylesheet_uri() ); ?>

    Thanks.
