Child Theme edit

  • I have made a child theme and am trying to edit it, and change things that the parent theme would not let me change, but for some reasons, no changes have been made. The style.css sheet says they have but I cannot see them on my website. Can anyone tell me why. Thanks in advance.

  • Can you post a link to your website?

    Sure ncwebsitebuilder.com.

    When I look at your site, everything seems to be working correctly. Your site is correctly using your child theme’s stylesheet and you have correctly @imported the parent theme’s stylesheet. Can you post an example of a CSS change that doesn’t work as expected?

    .main-navigation .navbar-inner {
    padding: 0;
    min-height: 13px;
    border: 1px solid;
    border-radius: 3px;
    background: #000000;
    box-shadow: none;

    The menu still has it’s gradient. How can I change that? I took the gradient out of here where it says background and put in the background color I wanted.

    Huh, I didn’t even see that gradient. My eyes must be going. What’s happening here is that the gradient is controlled by a separate stylesheet named black.css that loads after your child theme’s stylesheet, so its rules override those in your child theme’s stylesheet. A quick fix would be to add !important after the color declaration like this:

    background: #000000 !important;

    Note that it comes after the color code but before the semicolon. You could also modify the theme so that the black stylesheet loads before your child theme’s stylesheet, but as I am not familiar with your theme, I couldn’t tell you exactly how to accomplish that.

    I also need help with my footer. If you could be so kind.
