    I’m having to add ‘!important’ to each line of CSS. this is frustrating.

    Oh no, please don’t use !important.

    Twentyeleven CSS is using higher hierarchy selector which is “.singular .entry-content” but you’re trying to overwrite it with just “.entry-content.” Please try adding .singular in front of .entry-content and see if it works.

    thank you mookasaurus, that fixed it.

    I was hoping that the child theme CSS wouldn’t require the exact hierarchical specifics, but now i know ??

    Yes, that’s what I find quite annoying when building a child theme but using !important is the worst! ??
