    Hi,
    I have to developp a website already having its own template and CSS file.
    As being familiar with Enfold toolbox, I’d like to know wether it’s possible to replace it’s CSS file and may be other files in order to be able to work with Enfold, using the existing tempate.

    In other words, would it be possible to use Enfold page builder with an existing template?

    Thanks.
    Best regards.

    Hey JMDP,

    I’m not sure if I understand your question, if you want to override a stylesheet then you could use a child theme, did you try that out? If that is not what you are looking for then please try to explain a bit further.

    Best regards,

    I have never modified any stylesheet before, exception made for some CSS adjustements you sent me, that I was only copy-pasting in the Custom CSS of the Child Theme.

    To help you to may be understand better, I’ve created an admin account for you:
    In appearance/theme, you’ll see 2 themes with their respective child themes.
    – Boosted
    – Boosted Child
    – Enfold
    – Enfold Child

    My need is to be able to use the “Boosted Theme” elements with your Enfold page builder I’m familiar with as always using Enfold for most of my websites.

    Am I clearer?
    I do not know if replacing the Enfold-Child theme’s CSS file on the ftp is suffiscent? And do I need to do someting else.
    Does the “Boosted theme” CSS file is the only file or directory to be modified? (Styles, dimensions, etc.).

    (I tried a little bit with SiteOrigin page builder, but Enfold is my reference, so I’d prefer Enfold with which I could train people here. May be new customers for Enfold! :-) ))

    Let me know if I’m clearer and If I may help further.
    Thank you in advance.

    PS: Just for info: Trouble for me here is that people are making mock-ups with Axure. It’s very long to developp in Axure and to be redone afterwards to have a real html website version. My solution would be to directly use WP Enfold to make “live” moke-ups. People here are UX Designers but not web dev. and wordpress + Enfold could be great.

    Hi,

    Ok, thanks for the clarification. If you need to use the CSS from your other theme then you will have to copy the CSS from it into the child of your active theme. But you cannot use the Enfold layout builder to create anything that is not already part of the builder, you would have to copy the markup of the elements you want to use into a text- or code-block element for instance.

    Best regards,

    PS: Just to make sure to understand : I copy the “Boosted theme CSS file” in => the Enfold Child CSS file to be able to use the page builder. Correct?

    To copy the CSS file of the new template (Boosted theme) in the Enfold Child theme, where do you suggest to copy it?
    In the “Native default Enfold CSS File” directly in the FTP original CSS File that I replace? Or in the custom CSS area? Or else.

    Where do I have to copy it?
    Sorry for that complemetary question but as not being a coder, I prefer to make sure I fully understand.
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    You could try to open the CSS file you want to import and copy everything within it, then simply paste all the code into one of the theme’s CSS files, for instance custom.css located in the css folder in the theme.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
