Hi there,
great theme!
I was wondering how to activate the style.css
No mater what I do, it seems not to apply the style.
I added this
@import url(“../w3artstudio/wp-content/themes/x/style.css”);but even changing the path, nothing works.
Thanks for any help.

We’d be happy to assist you with this. Could you explain what you’re trying to do here? If you just want to add some custom styles, you can use Customizer > Custom > CSS
If you want to edit the stylesheet yourself, you could use a child theme. If you use one of the child themes we provide, they are already setup with the proper CSS import.
April 18, 2014 at 3:36 pm #34896First, thank you so much. The first option was effective.
Second, I need to learn how to use child theme ( I am new to WP and X as well).
Third, I was at Appearance > Editor
That seemed to be the official WP way to customize stuff, right? But it was not working. You first option got it right way though.April 18, 2014 at 11:26 pm #35043Hi Glauber!
Thank you for the update.
You can follow the instructions on the documentation about settings up a child theme. If you haven’t done so yet, definitely take some time to review all of our resources in the Knowledge Base as a lot of setup questions like this are already covered in there and in much more detail than we can provide here. We include documentation, numerous helpful articles, and dozens of videos, which go over many aspects of the theme. Look for the Child Theme setup documentation.
The Appearance > Editor lets you modify the code directly. It is not the way to customize the theme if you’re not comfortable with codes. You can do all the modifications stuff using the Customizer panel.
Cheers!
April 25, 2014 at 4:08 pm #37271I did my custom alteration following
Customizer > Custom > CSSThere was new update a few days ago.
Do I need to create a child theme before the update or those alterations are safe?
Throughout the theme (as it happens with WP), we have the the choice to create a class and/or add some style in the same interface. I don’t remember if I did any alteration using that route… maybe one or two, maybe not, am not sure. Same thing, is that safe before the update?
Thank you as always,
g.
ps. Per guideline we need to use ftp to update theme. SO if we just update theme through the add extra theme, that would not overwrite the theme, right? :/April 25, 2014 at 11:12 pm #37391Hi there!
Thank you for the info.
You can create a child theme after or before the update. The child theme won’t be overwritten when you update the parent theme. Regarding the customization, is it css? If it is and you place it on Customizer > Custom > CSS, yes, it is safe. You can only update the theme via FTP. Uploading the theme again on the theme’s panel will only give you an error that the current theme destination already exist.
Cheers!
