# Using style.css in sub folder for template

 * I’m transferring a html site over to WordPress. I created all the php files to
   make a theme. I know that in the template folder, you should have the style.css
   file on the same level as the index.php file, however, the designer created the
   style.css file to be in a sub folder called css. So the actual location of the
   style.css file would be /css/style.css. Is there a way to get WordPress to recognize
   the nested css file as the one running the template?

 * Only if you add a style.css file to the template directory with an [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   statement for the nested one. As far as I know, anyway, because WP needs the 
   comment block at the top of style.css for the theme to be valid.
