Thank you!
I will have a proper look into that video right after this answer. In the meantime I found out, that you can load the styles.css via the functions.php via this snippet:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'themeslug_enqueue_styles' ); function themeslug_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'themeslug-style', get_stylesheet_uri() ); }

(in case anyone else is wondering)

Is there any actual disadvantage to this? The page speaks of big CSS files, okay I get that and as far as I understand I still could split it. I’m asking, since you said you wouldn’t use 2025 with custom CSS.

In the Block and Site Editor, you can simply click to choose how each element should look.

This is actually what is putting me off so much. Perhaps the video will clarify (in this case please don’t bother to explain :D) but wouldn’t this take ages? As far as I saw it, I would have to click myself to every single item and click myself through an array of properties, instead of just jotting them down, what would take seconds, especially in a regular editor which auto-completes the syntax etc. I also can’t see how I would build a proper framework in terms of grid or flexboxes with that.

For example for styling a link, I would have to go to colors > link > color field > input the hex (also no support there for RGBA etc ?)> click again to get back, THEN go to typography > link > and would be able to change decoration there, but not for the hover state, nor do I have a lot of other properties, which I then would have to click again for and in the end still type manually in that custom CSS box, which has no codestyling and nothing. I mean seriously: What a nightmare? I would basically have to add tons and tons of single snippets for each tag and still have to fuzz with that menu? Also you can’t really see (let alone copy) what you did, because there’s obviously no CSS to display and if you want to change something you have to click yourself all the way back, instead of editing a few lines above or below. I’m probably totally wrong here and am looking forward to the video. But this was my experience so far and why I was so confused on how to implement my CSS now, and whether I was getting too old to adapt appropriately. (Born *89 not THAT old though, I thought… 😀 )

I’ll also checkout the older Theme, that’s a great idea, thank you! I was only hoping to have something of which the base structure is up to date with the most modern HTML and perhaps features/templates. Especially since I feared, Woocomerce, as you mentioned, might not play well with too old of a theme.

My WP runs locally, so I am not too concerned about experimenting with stuff, but that playground really is a cool feature. 🙂 TY
