I am using LIferay Theme to create a theme for a website. IN the portal_normal.vm file, I have included all the html code and css I have defined in custom.css

THe problem is that css from custom.css is not getting applied to portal_normal.vm page

SHould I include some file in velocity file which tells that custom.css should be included?

Also is it ok to include all css code in velocity?

Regards

EDIT:

custom.css and portal_normal.vm are inside _diffs folder

Did you try by removing .sasscache folder from your deployed theme and restart server? - Laxman Rana
@LuckyBoy : Thaks for the reply. There is no .sasscache folder in the theme project. Can you point me to the location of that folder? I searched but there is no folder by that name. - user2822187
tomcat/webapps/your-theme/css/.sass-cache. If you are using tomcat bundle - Laxman Rana
@LuckyBoy: There is no folder or any file in it. I checked. Yes I am using tomcat bundle - user2822187

put the custom.css under ~/theme/docroot/_diffs/css/custom.css

see the main.css in ~/theme/docroot/css/main.css it should include 

...
@import url(custom.css);

It should work may be problem in browser cache.. try to run ant clean and then run ant deploy.

and also try to copy portal_normal.vm file to _diff/templates directory.

_diff/templates/portal_noraml.vm and change here.
