[Support request] Child Master CSS

[Kevin]

Hi, I have a multisite using Generatepress child themes.
I can add custom CSS for each child in the CSS file, that’s perfect.

Question: How can I create CSS rules on the parent theme (Generatepress) which will affect all children?
I normally edited the core style.css of the parent, but it would break when updated.

Hi there,

how about creating a separate style sheet for the parent level changes and enqueuing that from within your child theme functions?

[Kevin]

Hi David, yes that would be nice, could you help me writing it correctly?
Does it have to be a function?

I googled and tried this, but it’s not working yet.
I wrote this in the child functions.php (and placed a CSS file in the parent theme):

wp_enqueue_style( 'style-test', get_template_directory_uri() . 'style-test.css' );

I think you’d actually need to create a plugin to enqueue a CSS file on all sites.

You can create a plugin with a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/pluginception/

Then you can use a function like this inside of it:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'network-style', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . 'style.css' );
} );

This assumes the style.css file is in the root of your plugin folder.

Then you can network activate the plugin, and your file should be active across the network.
