Child Theme Style.css Not Working

@dhatul – could you please provide a link to your child theme’s functions.php and style.css files so I can take a look.

Hi Kathryn,

My site is not yet online.

Is there anyway I can send the files to you as an attachment?

It’s OK if your site isn’t yet online, but you can still upload those two files somewhere so I can see them.

Or you can paste the contents of each file into separate Pastebins, and then link to them here: https://pastebin.com/

Functions.php is here https://pastebin.com/CkPNcqkU

Style.css is here https://pastebin.com/nvancK4b

Looks like you’re using a child-theme plugin. If you need help with its setup, you can post in the plugin’s forum, as I’m not familiar with this particular plugin or what might be going awry with it.

Or you can create a child theme manually – a plugin isn’t necessary.

Here are the steps:

0 – Back up your child theme folder on your hard drive, via FTP.

1 – Deactivate the child-theme plugin.

2 – Create a folder called libretto-child and upload it to your /wp-content/themes folder.

3 – Create a file called functions.php file, add the following code, and upload it in your libretto-child folder:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

4 – Upload the style.css file from your backed-up child theme folder into your new libretto-child folder, along with any other files (except functions.php) that you’ve added to it.

5 – Activate your child theme.
