Child theme won't load css file
-
Hello,
I’ve been trying to work this out all weekend. So keen to solve this mystery! Why is the css file in my Child folder ignored?
My site: https://www.12field.com.au
I have a Child theme folder (twelvefield) next to a Parent theme folder (ronika) in wp-content/themes.
In the Child theme folder I have a .css file. In that .css I have:
/* Theme Name: twelvefield Description: Child theme for the Ronika theme Template: ronika Version: 1.0 */ @import url("../ronika/style.css"); .main-navigation > ul > li a { font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; }
The main navigation DOES NOT change to Times New Roman. I have tried other css changes, like adding new colors etc, but no changes made in the child css file appear on my site.
I have activated my child theme in the Dashboard. It appears with a name and the thumbnail I made for it. There is no error message.
Is there something in the Ronika theme that’s calling the parent css and ignoring my css file?
I’ve read that changing ‘get_template_directory’ to ‘get_stylesheet_directory’ in the php can help when using Child themes, but I don’t know how or where to put it. Ronika has ‘get_template_directory’ appear several times in it’s functions.php file.
Thanks!
