Title: Two css files problem Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Two css files problem * Resolved [Fredrik Hedlund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredrik-hedlund/) * (@fredrik-hedlund) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-css-files-problem/) * Hi there. I’ve been sort of off the grid for a couple of years when it comes to webdesign, but when a friend of mine asked if I could make her a simple CV- page I accepted. I started out with making a simple css&html-layout and after that my plan was to convert it to a wordpress theme, so my friend wouldn’t have to go through code whenever she wanted to update it. * The problem I have atm is that the wordpress-theme doesn’t seem to format the page the same way the html-version does. I’m using two seperate css-files, one is in the theme-directory and named “style.css” and the other is located here: [http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css](http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css) * This is the target design (html&css): [http://www.karinhoffner.se](http://www.karinhoffner.se) * And this is how the wordpress-page looks like atm: [http://www.karinhoffner.se/blog.php](http://www.karinhoffner.se/blog.php) * My header.php looks like this: * ``` <?php wp_title('«', true, 'right'); ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?>

Since the css from file from Yahoo loads second those are the styles that override the main stylesheet. They both select many of the same elements, and in CSS the newer/last stylesheet wins. * To fix this what you can do is add this declaration after the Theme declaration, but immediately before your styles in style.css. * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(‘[http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css’](http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.7.0/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css’);); * This way the sytles you wrote are ‘newer’ than the Yahoo styles. * Hope this helps. * Thread Starter [Fredrik Hedlund](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredrik-hedlund/) * (@fredrik-hedlund) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-css-files-problem/#post-2238524) * Aaaah, good point. I’m going to check it out tomorrow (it’s getting late here;)). Will let you know how it goes.
