# CSS files issue

 * Hi, love the theme.
 * I noticed there are a lot of different css files. For performance reasons I’d
   like to combine them into one. How should I do this and stop the theme from adding
   the others to the html?
 * Note: I use another plugin that minifies css, removes unused css and caches the
   file but it requires that all my css be in one file.
 * Thanks

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for writing.
 * You will need to use a child theme for this.
    [https://www.kadencewp.com/child-themes/](https://www.kadencewp.com/child-themes/)
 * Copy all the codes from different CSS files of the parent theme and put them 
   together in the child theme’s CSS file.
 * However, I don’t recommend doing this because whenever there’s an update to the
   parent theme’s CSS files, the changes won’t reflect if there’s a code from the
   child theme that overrides the update.
 * You could use an [optimization plugin](https://www.fixrunner.com/combine-external-css/#:~:text=WordPress%20speed%20optimization%20and%20caching,as%20combining%20javascript%20files%20easily.)
   to combine external CSS files. You should see that setting in any optimization
   plugin.
 * Let us know how we can help further.
 * Kind regards,
    Chito
