• My CSS skills are slowly improving in terms of editing my themes, etc. BUT, I cannot figure out how to edit the CSS of a plugin other than in the main stylesheet.

    I’d like to create a custom css file to override the main stylesheet whenever changes are made.

    Any advice on how to do this? Thanks in advance!

  • It generally works the same way as theme CSS – just add whatever CSS you need to override the plugin’s CSS. You can add it using a custom CSS option or plugin or a child theme.

    That’s what I figured. I’ve never created a custom css file before. Can you point me to any instructions re: how to do that and how to ensure that that file will be called on to override the native css?

    Thanks in advance!

    What theme are you using? Child Themes are usually the best way to add CSS and/or modify theme files

    This is very helpful. Seems like this applies to customizing a theme (and I WILL use it for that!).

    Does this also apply to customizing a widget. For instance, can I follow the exact same steps, but create a “-child” folder to go along with the widget? Would all the steps be the same for the widget on it’s own as they are for the entire theme?

    Or am I missing something here?

    Thanks sooo much!

    No, but what do you want to do with the widget – that’s often just CSS – in which case it works the same way – add it to the custom or child theme CSS. It’s all a matter of the CSS selectors your would use.
