child stylesheet not overriding parent

I didn’t see any sign of child theme used in your site.

Did you activate your child theme ?

Did you put the style.css of child theme inside child theme’s folder ?

Yes I did

and within the child theme style.css, i imported the parent style.css and looking at https://www.venutip.com/content/right-way-override-theme-functions

I tried the following:

// Removes thematic_blogtitle from the thematic_header phase
function remove_ambrosia_actions() {
    remove_action('get_header','ambrosia_load_styles',3);
}
// Call 'remove_thematic_actions' during WP initialization
add_action('init','remove_ambrosia_actions');

// Add our custom function to the 'thematic_header' phase
add_action('get_header','new_load_styles', 3);

// Load CSS
function new_load_styles() {
	if (!is_admin()) {
		wp_enqueue_style('fontapi', 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:regular,italic,bold,bolditalic&subset=greek,latin');
		wp_enqueue_style('main', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
	}
}

which didn’t crash the styling, however it still doesn’t make the child style override the parent

I know the child theme is working because I’ve changed the custom 2 menus (provided by ambrosia) into 5 menus. It’s just the stylesheet thats completely ineffective

what’s the folder name of your child theme ?

There is a missing } in line 16 of your child’s style.css

folder name of child theme is confettitheme

thank you, I added in the } I think it may be working now as the background has disappeared, however its not retrieving the image that should be in the background now. My images are inside /confettitheme/images/

And the color:#green; in footer p.copy must be just green.

But I think the missing } in line 16 is the reason why the rest of it woulnd’t get read, the validator says Parse Error.

For image problem, check the file name (capital letter).

In your CSS it’s calling for this logo_motto.png, but your actual file is Logo_motto.png

Thank you,

it’s still not loading my images properly. When viewing resources, there’s 2 logo.png from different paths (probably my fault somewhere down the line), and its looking at the right place for my background.png however it’s not loading the image anyway, would you have any idea as to why?

Edit: turns out its a capitalisation problem again. it is now loading the image properly.

Thank you so much for your help! Was stuck on this for way too long!

Turns out ambrosia theme works fine as a parent theme (thus far) :’)

One thing though, you have to optimize that bg image, you can’t use a 3.7M image as a web bg.

Yes…I just realised image size is probably why its loading so incredibly slow at the moment. Thank you again for all the help you’ve given me!such a lifesaver!!
