# Archive.php custom css?

 * Just a quick question.
    If I want my archive.php to not use style.css and to 
   use a different custom made style instead, how do I do that?
 * I learned that I could do it with template pages using this code and it worked
   but I can’t get it to work for archive.php. Any help would be great! Thanks in
   advance!
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
       <!-- management script -->
       <?php
       if ( is_page_template('page-about.php')) { ?>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/about.css" />
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/main.css" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```

 * I figured it out in case anyone was wondering. All you do is have to change the
   is_page_template code to is_archive. Here is the snippet of code below.
 *     ```
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
   
       <?php
       if ( is_archive()) { ?>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/blog.css" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```
