Child theme stylesheet loading BEFORE parent theme style sheet

Fred,

Child functions fire before parent functions, so if your theme is written correctly the child code will fire before the parent’s code.

This typically occurs when the wp_enqueue_style is hardwired into the header.php file.

The best practice is to enqueue all your styles (and scripts) at the wp_enqueue_scripts action so that all the linked files load in order of execution.

Can you send me the code you are using?

Fred,

If you are using your own theme, I suggest implementing the method described here so the parent theme automatically enqueues both parent and child if a child theme is detected. Then select the “None” option for parent stylesheet handling:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_styles' );

function my_enqueue_styles() {

    /* If using a child theme, auto-load the parent theme style. */
    if ( is_child_theme() ) {
        wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css' );
    }

    /* Always load active theme's style.css. */
    wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}

Hi,
