add_editor_style() Seems to Do Nothing

  • I’m attempting to add styles to Gutenberg editor in a child theme, but add_editor_style() doesn’t seem to affect anything.

    functions.php: 

    function style_editor() {
    add_theme_support( 'editor-styles' );
    add_editor_style( 'style-editor.css' );
}

// Remove the parent theme's editor styles function
remove_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twenty_twenty_one_setup' );
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'style_editor' );

    style-editor.css:

    
body {
    background-color: #fff;
    color: #000;
}

    I’d expect this to work, but the only way to get it working is to go into the parent functions.php and comment out add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twenty_twenty_one_setup' );

  • Hi @jadamconnor,

    You can remove the parent theme’s setup function in your child theme’s functions.php as follows:

    // Remove the parent theme's editor styles function
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() {
	remove_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twenty_twenty_one_setup' );
} ,0 );

    Let me know if this helps!

    @kaavyaiyer This works. Thanks! Interesting… it looks like remove_action() is only invoked if it’s wrapped in a function?
