Child Theme

Can you link your site with the Child Theme active?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I can’t give you a link to the site because the site is only accessible internally… :-s

I have made a new folder –> ascent-child
I’ve put a style.css in it with following header:

@import url("../ascent/style.css");
/* ------------------------------------------------------
Theme Name:     XXXX
Theme URI:
Description:    Child theme for the ascent theme
Author:         Nina
Author URI:
Template:       ascent
Version:        0.1.0
-----------------------------------------------------------*/

The theme works. I can see my site without any problems. I just can’t change anything about the look of the site. When I put something in a the css, nothing happens. It keeps refering to the css of the parent theme.

Also, now I have switched back to the parent theme and I want to change something in the css file using the build in editor in WordPress nothing changes.

It can’t be that I have to edit the main.css of the parent theme?

Can anyone please help me?

Hi Nientje07,

You can add the below code inside your child theme’s functions.php

function ascent_high_priority_style() {
	if (is_child_theme()) {
	    wp_enqueue_style('child-custom-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/child-custom.css', array(), '1.0.9', 'all');
	}
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ascent_high_priority_style', '999' );

Then create a CSS file name ‘child-custom.css’ inside your child theme. Inside this ‘child-custom.css’ file you can add your custom style.

That worked!! thanks a lot!! ??
