How does it interact with Simple Custom CSS plugin?

    I was using the “Simple Custom CSS” plugin before installing the Child Theme Configurator. How does this impact that? Can I still make CSS changes in the Simple Custom CSS and see them reflected, now, in the Child Theme I am working under? Are there procedures I need to take differently?

    An additional question is how does this integrate or interact with Easy Google Fonts plugin? If I make a change to some font using the Easy Google Fonts, is this being saved to the child theme?

    Last one (I think). How about WYSIWYG Widget? Will changes I make to the child them via your plugin affect widgets I build with this plugin?

    Thanks!

    Dave,

    Simple Custom CSS writes raw css to the options API. When the page loads, it retrieves it and renders it during the wp_enqueue_scripts action with a priority of 99.

    This means that it will render after the parent and child stylesheets, thus overriding the CTC stylesheet.

    However, if you are using CTC Pro, the plugin stylesheet loads with priority 999, so the plugin styles you create will override Simple Custom CSS.

    Since there is no interaction between CTC and the Simple Custom CSS data, it is not visible in the CTC interface. There is really no reason to use it along with CTC. Just paste any styles you put there into the RAW CSS textarea input under the Query/Selector tab and it will do the same thing, only WITH all the other preview and search capabilities of CTC.

    Plugins like the ones you mention are typically theme-agnostic, so they will continue to work regardless of the theme ( or child theme ) you are using.

    Why not try a child theme in Live Preview mode and see for yourself?
