# Enqueue minified css files

 * I have read that if your theme includes both style.css and style.min.css, WordPress
   will automatically load style.min.css and fall back to style.css if the minified
   version is missing. I am enqueuing secondary css files using enqueue_scripts 
   and want it to work the same way – load minified file if present and non-minified
   file as fallback – but can’t figure out how to do it. If I enqueue “style2.css”
   and “style2.min.css” is present in the same location “style2.css” is still loaded.
 * If there is a more appropriate forum somebody please let me know!

 * The files in question would be get_stylesheet_directory().’/style2.css’ or ‘/
   style2.min.css’, so you can use that to test their existence and based on the
   result of that, decide which to enqueue line you would any other CSS file.

 * Thanks for the response.
 * I know which files are there. What I am trying to figure out is: is there a way
   to enqueue so that the .min.css version of the stylesheet is called _if it exists
   in the specified location_ but automatically fall back to the plain .css version
   if there is no minified version there.

 * no, it’s up to you to code that if that’s what you want.
