# Using CSS style sheets with WordPress

 * I’m trying to redo an existing non-Wordpress site to make it responsive(and take
   advantage of some themes which seem to employ javascript) and am confused as 
   to how to duplicate some of my efforts in WordPress.
 * The 10,000 page site that I currently have is ‘controlled’ by about 10 CSS files
   and some “include” php codes within the pages so that I can easily add or alter
   content/appearance of 10,000 pages at once.
 * I am trying to upgrade the look of the site and make it responsive via WordPress
   but, right now at least, being very new to WordPress, cannot see how I am going
   to adapt the CSS and php ‘includes’ in the current version of my site to my new
   WordPress version.
 * Can I still use CSS style sheets in WordPress or is that in conflict with the
   content management in WordPress?

 * You can definitely still use CSS style sheets in WordPress.

   but wanted to give you a starting point on the Codex.

 * Thanks. It will take a little while to digest that.
 * As far as adding php. I know almost nothing about php but on my current non-Wordpress
   site I have “includes” that reference a header or adsense ad/etc..
    in another
   file. That way, like CSS, I can change individual blocks of information on every
   page(1000s 0f pages) with that “include” at the same time.
 * However, when I write the php code for an adsense ad(for example) to be inserted
   as an include within one of my WordPress pages nothing shows up.
 * The php code I tried to insert is basically: <?php
    include(“name and location
   of of php file”); ?>
 *  Is there an alternative method for this or do the links you provided cover that
   as well?

 * I think I found something for the php:

 * Just to clarify, you’re trying to bring in another (existing) php template?
    
   Some things are built-in and depending on the theme, it might be brought in in
   another way (ie: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part),
   for example)

 * For example, for my non-Wordpress site, I have Google Adsense banner ad code 
   on a php page that is enclosed in <div></div> and that’s all. The code is what
   other “real” pages will refer to and place that information on an area of the
   page that could be changed to whatever I need but in this example its an Adsense
   Banner ad.
 * The non-Wordpress site page that _refers_ to the above has code within it that
   says
    <?php include(“include_adsense_1.php”); ?>
 * However, on my WordPress site, when I paste the above php, with the correct location,
   the banner ad is not shown on the page. The php is meaningless the way it is 
   to WordPress.
 * I want to be able to change information on numerous pages by simply changing 
   the content on the php code page. For example take out the Adsense Banner code
   and instead have a certain photo take the place of every Adsense banner ad. ..
   but WordPress is currently not letting me do this.

 * I got the php external file to work by placing it in the WordPress directory 
   instead of the root directory of the website. This along with the Insert PHP 
   Plugin.
 * Now, I’ll have to look into the external css style sheets. The codex info looks
   overwhelming at this point. I need to find a simple way to have my pages “obey”
   certain external css style sheets like they do on a non-content manager sites.
