 * Can anyone suggest sites or explain steps to use the existing woocommerce css
   styles?
 * I’m looking to customise based on the existing styles and transfer those styles
   into a blog’s main style.css so future updates don’t override css changes.

 * Turn off WC styles in the WC settings. Then copy the CSS from the WC plugin and
   then paste that into your active theme’s stylesheet.

 * Thks splashingpixels – unfortunately didn’t work. In case if influences anything,
   I also have the Genesis Connect plugin activated. Are there other steps or changes
   needed?
 * i.e. I found other articles talking about moving folders, enqueue styles etc 
   etc
 * Prior attempts, directly editing the 1 long line of woocommerce.css code, worked
   for a while but difficult experimenting using firebug. If a simpler method exists,
   great. thks

 * What I stated will work and there is no reason why it shouldn’t. The logic is
   simple. Turning off WC styles means any WC related items will have no styles 
   at all other than what your theme has for it. Then copying the WC styles from
   the plugin to your theme’s CSS will enable them to be used again where you can
   modify without worrying about WC updates…
 * So if it’s not working for you, you’re doing something wrong.

 * Working now thks SP. For any readers, I’d uncompressed the one line code of woocommerce.
   css using one online tool – that didn’t work. Tried others (which had visibly
   different output results) – it works. Firebug shows new CSS location being used.

 * Actually the CSS you saw is just minified/compressed…To get the uncompressed 
   version, you need to open up the woocommerce.less file. But be warn as there 
   are imports in there so it is better to use a less compiler to compile it for
   you.
