My custom.css file is loaded before the theme files.

I followed the instructions here for adding a custom css file to the EasySocial theme. However, the custom.css is loaded before the theme files so it's being overridden by the core theme files.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/itasteitsocial/templates/rt_anacron/html/com_easysocial/css/custom.css" type="text/css" />

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/itasteitsocial/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/base.css" type="text/css" />

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/itasteitsocial/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/style.css" type="text/css" />

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/itasteitsocial/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/styles/more.css" type="text/css" />


It's a local dev site so I can't provide a link. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

Thanks.

Kurtis
Try to upload this into /administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/document/helpers/ and let me know how this goes

Hi Kurtis Houser,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a public holiday for us here.

It should be okay one, because I tested in my locally override the Easysocial toolbar color, it seems work fine.

Take a look of my screenshot below.

If still can't, perhaps you can provide us with your custom.css file, so I can test it on locally and see is it work?

Hi Arlex,

It works for you because you're using !important. Correct?

The custom.css file is the first one loaded so duplicate selectors in any files loaded after will override it.

Referring to the attached image, toolbar.css is overriding my custom.css.
