I have a Materialize menu that i use in other areas of my website and i tried to import it into Wordpress. With a few edits its been successful and the menu is running fine. you can see it working here
The issue i'm having now is that the external css called to use Materialize has overridden of the css in wordpress/my theme.
Does anyone know how to limit the Materilize css to one element on a website, in this case it'd be my menu div.
here's the scripts i called to get Materialize to work. I found that i had to make small edits to the menu which was built for a standard html page, but nothing too significant, other than calling these scripts. ja little trial and error needed to get to where i am now.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.98.0/css/materialize.min.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.98.0/js/materialize.min.js"></script>
edit: this question is different from this one because scoped css is depreciated (the 1st answer), and i can't wrap it in the div in my css file as the css being called is an external one, quite a large one, from Materialize (the second answer)

I had a question on how to find out which part of your code needs changing to adjust this "display:none !important" functionality which prevents the website to be responsive on mobile. When going under 767px content simply disappears and that condition triggers.
If I change it to "display:inline !important" that works but I've only done it in-browser and I can't find where to change it in the source files. Is there any methodology on finding this out? I've even used grep on all the files in the theme looking for keywords but I don't know where else to look. Also tried adding the changed code into the "Additional CSS" menu however with no success either.
The question is:
Is there any methodology to finding this [where the CSS lives] out?
You want to know the methodology to find the CSS. Let's walk through how I did it.
Step 1
The inspector gives you the location of the styles. Using your images, I marked the locations with the red boxes:
Notice that the style in question is located in (index):557. Where is that? It's not an external stylesheet, as with the style.css example. Rather, it's been added directly into the <head> and wrapped in <style>.
Using Dev Tools, look in the <head> of the DOM (in the HTML markup). You'll find it there.
Step 2:
Where do you find it? The method that I use is to look at the style declarations first in the <head>. Are there any comments to give you clues?
Next, I look at the actual style attributes. In this case, it's .tm_pb_builder. That is giving you a clue to the component that builds the CSS.
I did a Google search for that class attribute, like this: wordpress tm_pb_builder. That took me to GitHub and the Power Builder plugin from TemplateMonster.
Step 3
Now you know that the plugin Power Builder is the one responsible for adding that style into the <head>. You can then take a look at the respective page and explore how this page is built with this page builder.
That's my methodology.
You can add display:inline !important in the style.css of your child-theme, but it will only works if the plugin css file loads before it.
If the theme's css loads before plugin css, you can create a new css style and enqueue it at the very last end of the style enqueue.
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'se_41042975', 999);
function se_41042975(){
wp_enqueue_style('css-plugin-override', get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/css/custom_css.css');
}
Hope it helps!
I'm using google's css package in my google script app:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/script/css/add-ons1.css">
However, I would like to use my own css for styling table elements. The only problem is that google's css package contains css for table elements, and it seems to be overwriting my custom css except it's not doing it consistently. For example, on my laptop the web app uses my table css and for my desktop it uses google's css package (both running windows 10 using chrome--although the desktop's chrome might not be updated). Is there any way to ignore google's css for tables or even to know for sure which styling will supersede the other? What if I were using two third party stylesheets that both defined css for tables? How could I specify which one I wanted for a specific selector?
If you want to overwrite styling of other CSS files make sure to include you CSS file after the ones you want to override. And learning about CSS specificity helps alot.

I have asked myself (not tested) if it is possible to integrate both bootstrap and materializecss into the same project
Since both frameworks are for the same purpose and probably overlapping in some class definitions etc. is it still possible to combine both frameworks in order to expand my styling options?
Materialize is not based on Bootstrap nor just a "visual layer", using both frameworks may lead to a lots of incompatibilities or at least overlap a lot as most of their functionalities are redundant (grids, menus, icons, etc).
I personally use this project Bootstrap material design which is a theme for Bootstrap and works very well.
If you don't need/want Bootstrap you can also use Material Design Lite that has been recently released by Google. It is a light CSS framework based on Material Design guidelines. Light in comparison to Angular Material or Polymer also using Material Design guidelines but part of or requiring other javascript frameworks (i.e. Angular).
I added Materialize to my bootstrap website and it worked fine, like JC Borlagdan said though there is some overlapping. I just use a website inspector and (usually right click > inspect element) then just turn off the bootstrap or materialize property to see which one I like more and remove the styling from the one I don't like. Just make sure you get the non minified versions of materialize and bootstrap.
It is possible, I already tested both framework in a single web form, though some properties of the controls overlapped, especially to the <div> tag that calls the container class for the tag.
For the grid, it actually follows still the bootsrap, for some reason, (that I don't know). Because I tried rearranging the order of <script> tags, still bootsrap grid still the one used by the webpage/webform.
you need to set the order of CSS files like
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="css/yourStyle.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
Now you can override bootstrap css classes or ids, and can make your own CSS styles.
You could remove the GRID from materialize.css and just compile a custom bootstrap package with BT GRID and without the buttons, labels etc.
Don't use any BT jQuery Plugin, then compile and load bootstrap.min.css first in your template and then the modded materialize.css and materilize.min.js.
You can also integrate just buttons, cards or colors by picking them out of materialize.css and insert in your template.css / style.css to overwrite
bootstrap styles or to add alternative css classes to your GRID.
I'm not sure that's possible. Material Design is something new from Google, and includes responsive as part of it, while the Bootstrap library is from Twitter and seems to be mostly responsive-oriented.

I suspect that they are not going to be integrated with each other, and will conflict badly, but maybe someone else has more information.
On a blog post on my website, I decided to share some of my code using a GitHub Gist, since I thought it would be an easy way to apply code formatting and syntax highlighting to my code.
I've embedded the Gist in the post, but for some reason my website's CSS has overridden the CSS of the Gist and so I've ended up with code which is all grey and in a serif font. I assumed that since the stylesheet in the Gist is being linked to after my main stylesheet link, it would be fine, but this seems not to be the case.
How can I make it so that my main stylesheet won't modify the styling of the Gist?
Edit: Here is the page where the problem is occurring, the Gist is near the bottom.
Are you using the embed option? There would be one located on the left sidebar the says "embed this gist" which uses different ids from your css stylesheet so it wont conflict.
You can also rename your selectors on your website, the second stylesheet takes priority not the first.
I am currently using Twitter Bootstrap in developing an web app. Now I also need to use jqgrid for the same app. So, I have a couple of CSS included for a page.
<link href="../css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../css/flick/jquery-ui-1.8.19.custom.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="../css/ui.jqgrid.css" rel="stylesheet">
However, the grid table generated by jqgrid on the page looks a bit odd since you find Twitter-ish cells in the jgrid table.
So I am wondering if there are any ways to disable one CSS out of several CSS files that I include for a certain element of the page? This time, I want to disable bootstrap css for div tag with id=grid where the grid will show up.
Pretty vague, but here's your solution: use the dev tools in your browser of choice, but i'm going to explain using Chrome:
hover over the affected jqgrid table and click inspect element. dev tools will open up and you should see all the styles being declared on that element, from the separate stylesheets.
if you see any styles crossed out (being overridden) that come from jqgrid, you need to out specify them in your jqgrid style sheet, for example, by adding a class, id, parent selectors or chaining.
also, if there are styles bootstrap is declaring that jqgrid doesn't address (these you're going to have to sift through manually), the same solution applies: add these styles to jqgrid, while specifying the styles you desire and adding specificity to your declarations so they override bootstrap.
If you posted a link, i could show you, which i think would be much easier then this explanation. but this will achieve the style(s) you desire.
You can't disable a stylesheet reference, but you can change the selectors in it to be more descriptive. e.g. if both of these stylesheets just style div, you'll of course get conflicts. However, if you modify bootstrap's selectors to be #twitter div, you'll get much more precise results.
