  • DO NOT edit style.css of main theme itself.
  • This will create issue while theme update.
  • If you have minor style changes you may use this.
  • Keep back up of those styles, in case of accidental reset.

  • You can place custom styles in style.css of child theme
  • It cannot override styles from responsive.css, customizer etc.
  • This is useful if you need to override styles from responsive.css, customizer or any other css including style.css of main theme.
  • So better to prefer this if you have hefty style changes.
