Kinda a newbie question – which css file to edit

  • Hi I am currently using the Phlox theme to create a website but there are a few tweaks I’l like to make the CSS typography but as there are multiple CSS files, I’m not sure which one I should be digging into to edit?
    There is Base.css or Main.css and they both look very similar.

    I know I can adjust a lot of the font attributes within the theme GUI but there are a few little extras I’d like to add like line-height and changing to use rem instead of px.

  • Don’t edit any theme files… else you’ll lose any changes you made when you update the theme.

    Instead, add your CSS overrides in APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZE => ADDITIONAL CSS. This persists even after updating the theme.

    Since you’re overriding existing styles, you need to choose your selector(s) appropriately for your overrides to take effect. Your browser’s developer tool is your best friend here.

    Thanks George. I didn’t even think of loosing the changes with updates.
