Styled component not wrapping another styled component

I have a Popup component like so:

import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import styled from 'styled-components';

const Div = styled.div`
  position: absolute;
`;

const Popup = ({ isOpen, onClose, children }) => {

  useEffect(() => {
    const onClick = e => {
      if (isOpen && onClose) {
        onClose();
      }
    };

    document.addEventListener('click', onClick);
    return () => document.removeEventListener('click', onClick);
  }, [isOpen, onClose]);

  return <Div>
    {isOpen && children}
  </Div>;
};

export default Popup;

Now I'm trying to wrap it into another styled component:

const Menu = styled(Popup)`
  background-color: red;
`;

But using this Menu only applies the styles from the Popup, i.e. the background color stays white. Why isn't it changing to red?

You need to add className prop to Popup component in order to allow the css-in-js library (styled-component) to inject its styles:

const Popup = ({ isOpen, onClose, children, className }) => {
  //...
  return <Div className={className}>{isOpen && children}</Div>;
};

See Styling normal React components in Docs.
