Courses Plus Student 14,522 PointsMultiple CSS stylesheets
I'm following along this course to port my current static site into a wordpress backend. I have about 20 different css style sheets. Do I need to copy the contents of each of of these stylesheets into one mass 'style.css' file?

I hope this helps.

You don't necessarily NEED to combine all these stylesheets into one, but I would advise that you do so. When you link multiple stylesheets, a separate request has to be made for each one, so reducing this number can improve the performance of your site. If you need to have separate stylesheets to stay organized, I would recommend looking into a build too such as Gulp or Grunt, which will concatenate your CSS into one production file for you.
