style.css

just tried with a child theme and i see it, so is this how i can use the style.css ? only with a child theme?

You should never edit a WPORG theme itself. You need to create a child theme for your changes or install a custom CSS plugin.

agreed, its just the first time i see a theme not calling the style.css at all and i was curious to find how it works.

You can add any custom css in the custom css box (theme options > advanced settings). Is that what you mean?

Hi hannah,

the issue i had was that when i tried to add css in style.css in the parent directly it was not loaded and when i looked in the source code style.css was missing.This is different than most themes available but apparently this is how it works.

for reference you can child theme the theme and use normally style.css to add rules but not in the parent directly.

please correct me if i am wrong.

Hey
You are not wrong in that you can’t use the parent style.css it’s not enqueued. It’s used by wordpress to pull the theme info but it’s not used as a css file in the theme. (plenty of themes do it this way).
But the main thing is you shouldn’t edit that.
Child themes work normally and you can also use the css box in your theme options.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the reply, btw using the style.css in my child theme does not require an @import or

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}

Hey no it doesn’t with this theme.

Hallo,

I have a problem with child theme.
I am using “kadencethemes: virtue-premium”. And I made ‘virtue_premium_child’ and ofcourse style.css in “virtue_premium_child”.
I put the code(@import url(“../virtue_premium/style.css”);) in style.css.
After that, I activated “virtue_premium_child”.
And then comes the problem. “nav main menu” which located next to logo disappeared. Can sombody help me?

if i am not mistaken you don’t need you don’t need to import the style.css.Your menu may need to be set again from appearance>menus

Million times thanks for fast and correct reply.
