# CSS "inactive"

 * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/css-inactive-2/)
 * I read through the information [here](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/docs/customizing-the-plugin-css/)
   and will make sure to create a copy of the CSS file when I edit. (I assume that
   I copy it to my theme folder in cPanel, edit the copy from Appearance>Editor,
   and it will automatically override the plugin CSS?)
 * From the WordPress dashboard, when I go to Plugins>Editor, scroll down to the
   edd.css file and make my changes, none of my edits take effect. I’m just guessing
   this has to do with the “inactive” status of the edd.css file in Plugin>Editor.
 * Can you help me figure out how to edit the CSS so my changes take effect?

 * In order for the CSS file to be edited safely, you need to move it to your theme’s“
   edd_templates” folder (create it if it doesn’t exist). See this video: [https://easydigitaldownloads.com/videos/template-files/](https://easydigitaldownloads.com/videos/template-files/)
 * The edd.css file is not the one used by default. The edd.min.css file is the 
   one used so you will need to edit that one.

 * Thanks for the response. Just a couple of things.
 * I went ahead and copied all the template files from Easy Digital Downloads into
   my Gravit theme folder. First thing is, just copying these files (no editing),
   the little spinning wheel for the “Add to Cart” button turns into a spinning 
   letter q. And when the green “Added to Cart” text appears, what’s supposed to
   be a check mark is now a small letter w.
 * The other thing, the edd.min.css file shows all the code on one line, while the
   edd.css code is nicely organized over some 460 lines.
 * Basically all I care to change the style of at this point is the buttons. The
   plugin is so well designed that it matches my site beautifully. I was just interested
   in moving some buttons to center alignment, and maybe changing their colors, 
   adding a shadow, etc. The “purchase” text in the button [http://glimmero.com/checkout/](http://glimmero.com/checkout/)
   looks a little grey when I’d like the text to be white.

 * Hey Pippin,
 * Never mind about the missing loading gifs. I made the mistake of failing to copy
   over the images folder from templates. Sorry about that.
 * If you could just let me know if it’s normal that the edd.min.css file is all
   on one line of code, that’s about all I need at this point.

 * Yep, totally normal for edd.min.css to all be on one line. That’s the minified
   version of the CSS file. It’s done that way so as to make the file as small as
   possible.
