• Hello,

    For some reason my child theme style.css file does not seem to work as it should. Any changes I make to the child css does not affect my website. The theme I am using is a purchased theme called Maya Shop. This theme already had a child theme set-up. I also checked on how child themes are made to ensure I had the correct file types.

    This is what my current styles.css file looks like in my maya-child folder.

    /*
    Theme name: Maya Shop Child
    Description: The start base for easy theme wordpress development.
    Version: 2.6.0

    template: maya
    */

    @import url(“../maya/style.css”);

    /* Below you can write your style */

    #header {
    background: url(‘https://jksastrology.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Astrology-element-header4.jpg’) no-repeat center;
    background-size: 100%;
    padding-bottom: 190px;
    }
    #nav {
    position: absolute;
    margin-top: 160px;
    width: 100%;
    }
    #content {
    margin-top: 30px;
    }

    I have been trying to troubleshoot this myself for a few days now, even looking on many forums, but with no luck. My main theme is located in the folder maya. My child theme is in the folder maya-child.

    Here are things I have tried so far:
    – Cleared browser cache.
    – Made sure there are no cache related plugins.
    – Tried the full import url address.
    – Checked to see if the parent css file was changed due to changes on the child css. Nothing happened.

    I really would appropriate any help.

    Kind regards,

    Jamie
