What's the best way to override woocommerce.css?
In my style.css I have to write those css again to override it, and put !important after each css. I think this is not the best practice to do so.
Anyone has a better idea?
WooCommerce enqueues 3 stylesheets by default. You can disable them all using:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enqueue_styles', '__return_false' );
For details on how to disable individual WooCommerce stylesheets, see their Disable the default stylesheet article.
There's another approach in an article by Carrie Dills. She's using the Genesis theme but it could be reworked for other themes I think.
In essence, what she recommends is changing the order that your styles load so that your theme's stylesheet is loaded after the WooCommerce stylesheet. i.e. it is enqueued at a higher priority.
For Genesis it looks like the below. If you can access your framework/theme's stylesheet loading with a similar hook, you could do the same.
/**
* Remove Genesis child theme style sheet
* #uses genesis_meta <genesis/lib/css/load-styles.php>
*/
remove_action( 'genesis_meta', 'genesis_load_stylesheet' );
/**
* Enqueue Genesis child theme style sheet at higher priority
* #uses wp_enqueue_scripts <http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_style>
*/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'genesis_enqueue_main_stylesheet', 15 );
You can override woocommerce.css with custom.css file that can be located either in default wordpress theme or in child theme.
You can also make a fallback to default woocommerce.css if something happens to custom.css file.
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'override_woo_frontend_styles');
function override_woo_frontend_styles(){
$file_general = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/css/custom.css';
if( file_exists($file_general) ){
wp_dequeue_style('woocommerce-general');
wp_enqueue_style('woocommerce-general-custom', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/custom.css');
}
}
Same thing is for other woocommerce frontend styles (woocommerce-layout and woocommerce-smallscreen).
If you're doing this in child theme, then use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead of get_template_directory_uri() and change file path according to child theme name.
My approach is to follow the principle cascade of CSS. So basically the one that loads last will override the previous rules if no !important was defined.
Check here:
//This is the order the css load by default, at leat on the sites I have worked!!!
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http:/css/custom_styles.css" type="text/css" media="all">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http:/css/woocomerce.css" type="text/css" media="all">
So what is the idea Load your custom CSS after the woocommerce has loaded.
Method 1: Adding a Low priority on the [add_action] for the style add_action like:
function load_my_css(){
wp_enqueue_style('custom-theme', URL TO STYLE);
}
// (the higher the number the lowest Priority)
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_my_css', 5000);
Method 2: Remove woocommerce styles, so you create your own styles
// Or just remove them all in one line
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enqueue_styles', '__return_false' );
Method 3: Add dependency Array to your custom style
function load_my_css(){
wp_enqueue_style('custom-theme', URL TO STYLE, array(DEPENDECIES HERE));
}
Hope one of the Methods helps.
You'll find what you need in WooCommerce documentation. They offer two functions to either:
Stop WooCommerce plugin from loading all or specific stylesheets using their woocommerce_enqueue_styles() function.
Add your custom stylesheets within their plugin using the wp_enqueue_woocommerce_style() allowing you to override woocommerce.css.
Link to WooCommerce documentation « disable the default stylesheets »
For newer versions WooCommerce 4.x+ use this:
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'dequeueWooCommerceStyles' );
public function dequeueWooCommerceStyles()
{
wp_dequeue_style('wc-block-style');
wp_deregister_style( 'wc-block-style' );
}

Though I can certainly delete the files or references to them in the plugin code, this is not futureproof when I made plugin updates. They say that if I create a copy of their frontend.css file in my {theme}/{pluginname}/css folder, it will override theirs, but that doesn't work.
So I'm left with a style that takes priority because it matches on one of their containers and overrides my default page links.
For example:
.somecontainer a {
color:red
}
I need it gone. Preferably in a way that doesn't use !important or me specifying another instance of the same to override the values because then I have to manage the colors and styles in my original CSS AND in the override.
I already found code to print all enqueued styles and there were none so I can't just unqueue it.
The answer was apparently to DEqueue their styles at the same time I enqueued mine. Not sure why... seems like that would create problems, but this worked:
function my_style() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'pmpro_frontend' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'pmpro_print' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'my-style', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_url') );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_style', 11 );
First you'll need to identify the names/handles that the plugin's stylesheets were originally enqueued under. You can do this
quickly by running a search on your web server in the plugin's
directory, e.g. grep wp_enqueue_style /var/www/mysite/wp-content/plugins/nameofplugin/
Then add a dequeue function to the functions.php file,
and invoke it on the wp_enqueue_scripts with a priority higher than the
priority level set on the plugin's original enqueue function.
function remove_plugin_styles() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'name_of_plugin_stylesheet' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'name_of_plugin_stylesheet_2' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'remove_plugin_styles', 99 );
There's a bunch of css in my parent theme I don't need and instead of just overwriting it all, I'd like to dequeue it completely and put most of the CSS from the parent theme into the child themes css file.
Is this possible?
First you'll need to identify the names/handles that the parent theme's stylesheets were originally enqueued under. You can do this quickly by running a search on your web server in the parent theme directory, e.g. grep wp_enqueue_style /var/www/mysite/wp-content/themes/parent_theme/
Then add a dequeue function to the child theme's functions.php file, and initialize it with a priority higher than the priority level set for the parent theme's enqueue function:
function remove_parent_styles() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'name_of_parent_stylesheet' );
wp_dequeue_style( 'name_of_parent_stylesheet_2' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_parent_styles', 99 );
You should identify your styles/scripts handle name before dequeue it. A easiest way is install Query Monitor plugin and see in Styles tab. Handle name is in second column.
With this plugin, you also see CSS files are required by any dependants.
Dequeue your CSS:
Append this code to the end of your theme's functions.php file:
function tdt_dequeue_styles(){
wp_dequeue_style('your-handle-name');
wp_deregister_style('your-handle-name');
// Another style dequeue
wp_dequeue_style('your-2nd-handle-name');
wp_deregister_style('your-2nd-handle-name');
}
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'tdt_dequeue_styles', 9999 );
I'm trying to modify the WooCommerce Shop, Cart, and Checkout page using CSS, and was wondering if there's a way to find out all the classes used in these pages.
The concept that I am following is the one suggested here: http://docs.woothemes.com/document/css-structure/#section-2 where I can make changes on my theme's CSS. Like adding a.button, button.button, input.button, #review_form #submit { background:black; } to my theme's stylesheet, and so on.
Is there a way to know these classes, or do I have to manually inspect the elements in every page and modify them based on the classes visible in it? Any advices? Thank you.
I always find it helpful to look at the base CSS files.
https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/tree/master/assets/css this is the current active repository for all WooCommerce CSS files (broken out).
The SCSS definitely DOES have the style commented by page if you want to focus on shop/cart/checkout.
If you download the current base files, remove the WooCommerce ones through functions:
// Remove each style one by one
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enqueue_styles', 'jk_dequeue_styles' );
function jk_dequeue_styles( $enqueue_styles ) {
unset( $enqueue_styles['woocommerce-general'] ); // Remove the gloss
unset( $enqueue_styles['woocommerce-layout'] ); // Remove the layout
unset( $enqueue_styles['woocommerce-smallscreen'] ); // Remove the smallscreen optimisation
return $enqueue_styles;
}
// Or just remove them all in one line
add_filter( 'woocommerce_enqueue_styles', '__return_false' );
Then you can effectively override as needed directly from the "source" that won't conflict with future updates to Woo. If you ever wanted to update in the future, you could always do a DIFF using your overrides and Woo's CSS.
Or you could just grab the pieces you need :)
I have created a child theme of twenty fifteen. I'd like to remove the google fonts loaded in wp_head but I can't get it to work. What is loaded is:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='twentyfifteen-fonts-css' href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans%3A400italic%2C700italic%2C400%2C700%7CNoto+Serif%3A400italic%2C700italic%2C400%2C700%7CInconsolata%3A400%2C700&subset=latin%2Clatin-ext' type='text/css' media='all' />
I've created a function.php in my child theme but I can't figure out how to remove this. I've gotten other things remove using:
remove_action('wp_head', '...');
But I can't figure out how to remove the fonts.
Also, any tips on how to remove the IE condition statements and css would be very helpful!
Thanks!
TwentyFifteen uses a custom function to build a Google fonts URL which is then used with wp_enqueue_style(). To remove Google fonts create a function in your child theme to dequeue the stylesheet.
Use the wp_enqueue_scripts hook and make sure to give it a higher priority than the hook in the parent theme. The default is 10 so in my example I use 20.
Example:
function wpse_dequeue_google_fonts() {
wp_dequeue_style( 'twentyfifteen-fonts' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpse_dequeue_google_fonts', 20 );
Deregister/Dequeue styles is best practice
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_deregister_style
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_style
But you can use 'style_loader_src' filter too, to filter out styles with string condition, or other conditions, here is example for google fonts
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', function($href){
if(strpos($href, "//fonts.googleapis.com/") === false) {
return $href;
}
return false;
});
Open theme's functions.php and find a function called twentyfifteen_fonts_url() - it handles all the fonts stuff. In default file it starts on line 144. Edit it to your needs.
Other options:
Use a plugin to control fonts - https://wordpress.org/plugins/typecase/
Use a plugin to remove default fonts - https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-open-sans-font-from-wp-core/
Use wp_deregister_style() function to manually unregister that stylesheet. See here.
As for the IE conditional - check the next function in functions.php, called twentyfifteen_scripts(). It starts on line 196.
I have a wordpress theme with a stylesheet that needs to be loaded last, since plugin css are interfering with my theme. I was wondering if there was some type of function I could use to make the main stylesheet load last in my theme.
when you enqueue your stylesheets, use a higher priority, e.g.:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array(&$this, 'theme_styles'), 99 );
If some plugins have hooks on 'wp_print_styles', then you have to use it instead, as 'wp_print_styles' will be written after 'wp_enqueue_scripts', iirc.
And as you have complete control over your theme, you also could include your styles directly into header.php, if the hassle with the actions isn't worth time...
wp_print_styles works better. just add a priority to the call, for example 99.
function load_css() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'homepage-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/homepage-css.css', array(), 0.256, 'all');
}
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'load_css', 99 );
You can always use !important to override other rules, but I recommend to also be sure that the plugin stylesheets are being inserted properly using the following method. By adding the priority number you can render them at a later time.
Be sure your stylesheets are loading before all your scripts inside the tag of your header.
You always need to load stylesheets before scripts and wordpress takes care of that if you use
wp_enqueue_style and wp_enqueue_script
For example in your functions.php you should use
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function(){
wp_enqueue_style('main-style','http://yoursite.com/styles/main.css');
}, 99);
Wordpress then will place main.css in your header and giving a 99 priority means it will add it later than the rest (by default the priority of this function it's 10)
Be sure you got wp_head() in your header file.
Regards
You could add '!important' to the end of the css you want to override other classes
example:
h1 {
color:red !important;
}
