    Hi! I followed the documentation when creating a custom css file by placing the custom.css in the plugin folder > custom. Upon update, the file has disappeared. Can you clarify where the plugin will be looking for this file so it does not get deleted when updating?

    Hi pbjwordpress,

    My apologies, there is a disconnect as that custom.css option is intended for the Pro version’s update system, where it is paired with an auto-backup & auto-restore of that file. Unfortunately that’s not part of the Lite version and the custom.css shouldn’t be an setting there, sorry about that!

    To add a custom stylesheet, I’d suggest using this code:

    function my_custom_shiftnav_style() {
    $stylesheet_url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/shiftnav-custom.css'; // Make sure this matches your stylesheet's URL
    wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-shiftnav-css', $stylesheet_url, array( 'shiftnav' ), '1.0' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_custom_shiftnav_style' );

    and placing a stylesheet called shiftnav-custom.css in your child theme’s css/ directory.

    That way the file won’t get deleted when you update.

    Then you can just disable the ShiftNav skin in the settings.

    Hope that helps and sorry for the trouble!
