Adding custom CSS and JS to the backoffice Prestashop 1.7.8.7

[pad420]

Hello, 

I want to add custom CSS and JS to the back office.

I've tried writing code inside the overrides.css file inside admin/themes/default/css/overrides.css but it didn't work. 

Any ideas? :c

Add it to theme.css, style.css whichever is used. Have a backup of the file you edit before editing.

Hi.

1. Enter on the back office
2. Control + u to see the html code
3 Control + F and look for .css - This will let you see the lines that contain .css, that is, the css files.

In my case with ps1.7 one of the last lines is:

<link href="/admin-dir/themes/default/css/overrides.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

Edit the file /admin-dir/themes/default/css/overrides.css and write the css code you want.

Clean the cache of prestashop and the browser.

:)

For some my Prestashop version doesn't link this file in the back office.

Worked for me, thank you. 

I presume that the changes I'll make to this file will disappear once I upgrade to version to 1.7.8.8, right?

That is correct. When all is checked you save that file or the modification and set it after updating. Do not update without a proper backup; (all files needed to restore the shop).
