It's my understanding that Wordpress now processes SASS files but for some reason mine don't work.

I'm trying to call it using wp_enqueue_style directly in header.php via the head tag:

<?php wp_enqueue_style('stylesheet', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', $ver = false, $media = 'screen') ?>

Instead, the file gets called as a normal CSS doc.

I attempted to rename style.css to style.scss but then the file doesn't load at all, so I guess the sass pre-processor just isn't firing.

• It's my understanding that Wordpress now processes SASS files … why do you think it does? – fuxia ♦ Commented Jun 8, 2016 at 23:19

• I think that's only for a user's choice of colourscheme in the admin screens. – Andy Macaulay-Brook Commented Jun 8, 2016 at 23:39
• You're probably better to enqueue the styles using the wp_enqueue_scripts hook, too. Check the User Contributed Notes » Using a Hook section on this page. – Pat J Commented Jun 9, 2016 at 1:28
• 2 @nipponese That was for preprocessing core files on the wordpress server. It happens before WordPress is packed and distributed. That has no relevance for themes. – fuxia ♦ Commented Jun 9, 2016 at 2:20

@nipponese is right. WordPress doesn't process Sass for themes. That was just for core files on wordpress.
