Css updates

[datguy]

hi mate how can i bypass css without always updated the css I have edited? because i have edited stuff in css... granted it's not a massive change but 😛

You have several ways to do that. Here: https://chevereto.com/docs/theme

If you add changes in the dashboard, aren't those stored in the database? If that's true, then every time a page is built, php has to be run and the database queried?

I prefer the cloning method, but this in itself is clunky. Could we not have child themes instead? That way people could store all their changes in one static css file which could be served more efficiently (e.g. by nginx).

When Chevereto runs it calls the settings table just once and populates a settings array. Every time Chevereto loads it does that and in that load is your css changes so is not bid deal at all. The database or php won't be overused at all.

And you are missing the override. You can create style.css in the themes overrides folder.

Oh, I didn't know there was an overrides folder, I will look into that. Thanks.
