Connecting our stylesheet
We want to update Roots to use our main.css
stylesheet. For this, perform the following steps:
If you view source on your WordPress site and look for the stylesheet link, you'll see that our path is correct, but that the Roots stylesheet was named
main.min.css
with a version number added. Thus, the path in my locally installed version of WordPress looks like the following path:<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost:8888/bootstrappin-portfolio/assets/css/main.min.css?ver=9a2dd99b82ca338b034e8730b94139d2">
Note
The Roots Gruntfile generates the version number using an MD5 hash. (See the documentation on this at http://roots.io/using-grunt-for-wordpress-theme-development/.) This workflow, while a great one, is beyond the scope of this book. We won't be generating a version number for our file.
We simply need to update this link to point to our
main.css
file.Roots manages links to stylesheets and scripts using a file in its
lib
