More Information

Usage

A safe way to add/enqueue a stylesheet file to the WordPress generated page.

wp_enqueue_style( $handle, $src, $deps, $ver, $media );

Notes

  • If you are going to use some jQuery UI features you might have to provide your own CSS file: WordPress core does not have a full jQuery UI theme!
  • Default styles that are loaded via WordPress Core can be discerned via the source code on the default styles page.

Source
