Parameters
- $handle
-
(string) (Required) Name of the stylesheet. Should be unique.
- $src
-
(string) (Optional) Full URL of the stylesheet, or path of the stylesheet relative to the WordPress root directory.
Default value: ''
- $deps
-
(string[]) (Optional) An array of registered stylesheet handles this stylesheet depends on.
Default value: array()
- $ver
-
(string|bool|null) (Optional) String specifying stylesheet version number, if it has one, which is added to the URL as a query string for cache busting purposes. If version is set to false, a version number is automatically added equal to current installed WordPress version. If set to null, no version is added.
Default value: false
- $media
-
(string) (Optional) The media for which this stylesheet has been defined. Accepts media types like 'all', 'print' and 'screen', or media queries like '(orientation: portrait)' and '(max-width: 640px)'.
Default value: 'all'
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.

User Contributed Notes
You must log in before being able to contribute a note or feedback.
For proper versioning based on the file’s last modified time, you can use something similar to:
wp_enqueue_style('main-styles', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/style.css', array(), filemtime(get_template_directory() . '/css/style.css'), false);When the style.css file is updated on the server, WP will append the appropriate timestamp.
Note: You shouldn’t ever use time() as the 4th parameter or append it to the file, as this will break caching in almost all cases.

Shouldn’t the last parameter be set to “true” Otherwise it uses the wordpress current version instead of the file’s date — By Squidy McSquid —

How to remove
verin URL?If you want to remove the
verparameter in URL (for example, to intentionally cache the file), you pass innullinstead of false to remove that. For example:wp_enqueue_script('oxfam_js_cookie', 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/2.1.0/js.cookie.min.js', array(), null, true);By doing that, you will get:
Enqueues should not be protocol specific, remove https. I have update code as below
wp_enqueue_script('oxfam_js_cookie', '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/2.1.0/js.cookie.min.js', array(), null, true);Override all stylesheets in queue
/* adds stylesheet file to the end of the queue */ function wpdocs_override_stylesheets() { $dir = plugin_dir_url(__FILE__); wp_enqueue_style('theme-override', $dir . '/theme-overrides.css', array(), '0.1.0', 'all'); } add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_override_stylesheets', PHP_INT_MAX);Top ↑

Brilliant – in hindsight it seems obvious, of course. But this is a very useful way of making sure that your plugin’s CSS can succesfully override any theme’s CSS, without having to resort to labeling your entire CSS ‘
!important‘. One thing to consider though is that a value lower thanPHP_INT_MAXwould most likely suffice, leaving a possiblity for other plugins to in turn override your CSS. — By Bart Kuijper —Using this method you can enqueue a child theme’s style.css.
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() { $parent_style = 'jobcareertheme'; wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( $parent_style ), wp_get_theme()->get('1.0.0') ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );See Also:

Note that Google Fonts has changed their URLs, so when embedding multiple font families only one will be loaded. The change is “fundamentally incompatible with how the rest of the world uses query variables and thus PHP itself”.
The fix is to set
nullon the$versionparameter, which prevents the URL from being parsed and the additional font families lost.Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/49742
This is a conditional loading of css file by page template (css will be loaded on on the pages with tamplate-name.php).
You can change the condition by another one.
The code should be used in your theme’s function.php.
Notice: The code works for child themes. If you want to use it in a parent theme replace
get_stylesheet_directory_uri()withget_stylesheet_uri().$handle = 'wpdocs'; wp_register_style( $handle, get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/relative/path/to/stylesheet.css', array(), '', true ); if ( is_page_template( 'template-name.php' ) ) { wp_enqueue_style( $handle ); }There are functions that can remove the version numbers after they are added appropriately. look for
remove_query_argwhich can remove them and
script_loader_srcThe hook that is often used to run this. A common symptom will be version numbers missing on all attached scripts and stylesheets.

Load an IE-specific stylesheet:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_my_styles' ); function enqueue_my_styles() { global $wp_styles; // Load the main stylesheet wp_enqueue_style( 'my-theme', get_stylesheet_uri() ); /** * Load our IE-only stylesheet for all versions of IE: * <!--[if IE]> ... <![endif]--> * * NOTE: It is also possible to just check and see if the $is_IE global in WordPress is set to true before * calling the wp_enqueue_style() function. If you are trying to load a stylesheet for all browsers * EXCEPT for IE, then you would HAVE to check the $is_IE global since WordPress doesn't have a way to * properly handle non-IE conditional comments. */ wp_enqueue_style( 'my-theme-ie', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .
