Issue

  • How to call custom CSS in portal normal.ftl file

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2

Resolution

  • The custom styling can be added by using theme’s _custom.scss file (i.e., src/css/_custom.scss). Liferay DXP supports Bootstrap, as well as Sass, so 'Bootstrap' can be used in the markup and Sass nesting, variables, and more in the CSS files.
  • Regarding CSS files, one should only modify _clay_custom.scss, _clay_variables.scss, _custom.scss, and _liferay_variables_custom.scss.
  • Someone can overwrite the CSS file if they like, but if they alter any other files, the styling that Liferay DXP 7.2 requires will be lost.
