Undocumented But Working: Custom CSS File In Templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/custom/ Folder
Peter Hunkeler
Hi I inherited this site some years ago, and at that time, the site's custom CSS was stored in a file called
templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/custom/tvm_custom_styles.css
I searched the documentation but the only thing I've found was saying that custom CSS code should be stored in file
templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/custom.css
While our CSS file is working as desired since it is included in the HTML as
<link href="/templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/custom/tvm_custom_styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
I wonder if this is simply supported for compatibility? What were, or better are the complete rules for custom CSS file? Is any .CSS file in subfolder ´css/custom´ considered a CSS file to be added to the HTML?

Accepted AnswerHi,
Yes, the existing CSS file will continue to work. Helix Ultimate will load the CSS file from the templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/custom/ directory as it is already being included in the page.
Since this is an existing implementation, there is no need to move or rename the file as long as it is working correctly. You can continue using:
templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/custom/tvm_custom_styles.css
However, for new custom CSS, we recommend using the standard custom.css file mentioned in the current documentation.
Best regards
