    Omg that's just SAD 😂. Can't you ask them if you could build it from scratch? Cause its probably gonna take lesser tine than dealing with this.

    @lamka02sk True. I just hate the overuse of !important. Makes everything so much harder

    @IMDownerzac I guess the only way to fix the shitload of !important is write more !important. Ehm....or CTRL+A and BACKSPACE :D

    I noticed only now that "!important" seems "not important" and everything stops making sense. 😰

    I worked on a project with a little bit over 6000 lines of css, exactly like that.

    Be thankful not all of your stuff has !important on it 😂

    Your best option it to start moving the actually applied ones to a new css, and nuke the rest in the end.

    Note to self: really need to write the css scrub tool.

    Seems like ur client does not have a source code of SCSS, which is likely used to compile this CSS.

    I can't believe someone actually wrote this manually. Much more likely it was SCSS compiled with gulp.

    @sinisas it was, but the !important tag makes it impossible to work. I’d be better off just creating my own

    @jamesharrington I’d rather just start from scratch. It’s not in ANY cms so I have some freedom

    As @sinisas Said, the template has been styled with a css preprocessor and the client have sent you only the CSS file

    Maybe they want it to be disgusting. So we don't use it. Because it's bad practice.
