Child for Chaplin

Any ideas people? Many thanks.

Hi @mattbarb101,

Glad you like it! The code you posted should work, but it’s possible that the stylesheet gets enqueued after the Chaplin stylesheet, meaning the specificity of the CSS in your stylesheet needs to be higher to overwrite the Chaplin CSS.

Another solution would be to increase the priority of the add_action(), so it runs after the equivalent function in Chaplin. You can do that by adding the number 20 to your add_action(), like so:

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, function() {
// This will load child style.css file
wp_enqueue_style(‘chaplin-child’, get_stylesheet_uri());
}, 20 );

I can’t tell for sure that your enqueue code works in the first place without a link to the site, but give the above a try and see if it works for you.

Hi Anders,

This seemed to do the trick.

<?php 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles', PHP_INT_MAX );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
?>

Many thanks!

Agreed, thanks @anlino!

I just setup a child theme and had a bit of trouble getting the CSS enqueued. This worked for me and follows the latest WordPress guidance. Hopefully, it will help others…

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(),
        array( 'chaplin-style' ), 
        wp_get_theme()->get('all') 
    );
}

Cheers!

thanks,dashworth. this code worked well for me.
