Child theme style

  • Hi everyone:

    I created a child theme and the website is taken a css file (common.min.css) which does not come inherited from parent theme and is located in different folder (\wp-admin\css) of theme’s folder. How could I disassociate common.min.css file from the website?

    Thanks

  • Hi
    Are sure you want to do this?
    That file seems to be associated with the Available Widgets section so you might break that section.
    What are you trying to achieve here?

    The Child Theme has associated this file but I checked that this one does not appear in parent theme. For this reason, I think it is not neccesary. I suppose common.min.css is in absence of other file of parent theme and the system taken this one to replace it. After that, I deleted this file and, apparently, the website style is the same. I could deleted it, permanently but I want to be sure that Child Theme is taken all styles from parent theme.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I dont think this file has anything to do with the front end theme (what your visitors see). It is to do with the admin back end of the site so I wouldn’t delete it.
    Actually there seems to be another version of the file (common.css) that probably kicks in if it can’t find common.min.css so it will default to that is my guess.
    It not a good idea to mess with the core files of your website for 2 reasons:
    1) You will probably break your site
    2) Your changes will be overwritten when the site is updated to the latest and greatest version of WordPress.

    It might help me here if you could explain why you feel the need to delete this file and why you think it is causing problems with your theme.
