Exact code to put in Child themes functions.php for enqueueing all stylesheets

I would suggest taking a look at this thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19263390/wordpress-loading-multiple-scripts-with-enqueue-noob

Thank you for the link. I have tried reading through it and understanding it, however I find PHP and other code impossible to understand.
Hence my wish for exact code that I could just copy-paste.
I’m afraid I’m still stuck… ??

I agree with EarthingGirl, that link involves jquery and all kinds of other distracting code, which I know nothing about.

We’d both like to know how to “maintain all the parent theme dependencies” in the functions.php file of a new twenty fourteen child theme, if twenty fourteen has a folder called /css/ and within that folder are two files, editor-style.css and ie.css.

@EarthlingGirl
After days of searching the internet and studying I finally managed to get my child theme working with the twentyfourteen theme.
Fill in your own child theme filename and then copy/paste in a functions.php in your child theme folder

?php

/* Twenty Fourteen functions and definitions*/
/* Calling parentstyle with several style.css*/

/*Setting ‘parent-style’ as a dependency will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it.*/

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘twentyfourteen-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘your child theme filename-style’,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
array(‘twentyfourteen-style’)
);
}

@EarthlingGirl
There is a typo in my message.
Of course the php-code starts with: <?php

I’m having some difficulty with the code above – it seems to work perfectly for the full-size site, but when viewed through a smaller windows (or on a mobile device) the search, hamburger (menu) and social media icons are not being found.
Has anyone else found this problem and (hopefully) how to overcome it?

@marsianboy

Thank you SO much for your help! It works now, yay – just went through a zillion waiting updates, but luckily my site looks the same. Thank you!! ??

Ps. I’m sorry for my late reply, I have been abroad/offline for some months.

Pps. Love your username lol ??

peripateticfrasmotic, note that WordPress says “You may need to re-save your menu (Appearance > Menus, or Appearance > Customize > Menus) and theme options (including background and header images) after activating the child theme.”

Maybe that will solve your issue with the hamburger.

I’m having the same problem with the twentyfourteen theme. I’m also running Xampp on my PC to develop locally. I’m using @earthgirl’s exact code except for the child theme filename:

<?

/* Twenty Fourteen functions and definitions*/
/* Calling parentstyle with several style.css*/

/*Setting 'parent-style' as a dependency will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it.*/

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );

function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'twentyfourteen-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'twentyfourteen-child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('twentyfourteen-style')
);
}
?>

If anyone tell me where I’m going wrong, I’d be grateful.

Oh goodness. I realize that my opening tag (<?) is missing PHP (<?PHP). The good news is it works great now!

@marsianboy

Thank you for the “fill in” example, this was not explained clearly until I read your post.

@marsianboy and all others:
Thank you so very much!!!!

I don’t know if anyone still monitors this but I’m at a complete loss…I thought I followed everything in every tutorial I read on this…not totally sure how editing a php file is better than just having an @import line but still, I can’t get this to happen. I’ve got a site with a main theme, “Interface”, and built a directory for interface-child, added style (no @import line) and a functions.php file in it, and used this code in the interface child theme’s functions.php file:

<?php

/* Interface functions and definitions*/
/* Calling parentstyle with several style.css*/

/*Setting 'parent-style' as a dependency will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it.*/

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'interface-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'interface-child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('interface-style')
);
}

I’ve been going at this all night and it’s just stubbornly not showing up in my theme list on the backend. Not really sure what to do now =( especially frustrating after seeing everyone else figure it out! Any help is greatly greatly appreciated.

^I am also suffering the same issue… any further help on this would be greatly appreciated =)

Thanks to MarsianBoy for your research. I’m having the same problem. Tried the code, perhaps incorrectly; didn’t work. Sorry for long excerpts, but I am as clueless as anyone. Using parent theme “writr”, which enqueues stylesheets thus:

/* Register Google fonts. */
function writr_fonts() {
...
	if ( 'off' !== _x( 'on', 'Montserrat font: on or off', 'writr' ) ) {
		wp_register_style( 'writr-montserrat', "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700", array(), null );
	}
}
add_action( 'init', 'writr_fonts' );

/* Enqueue scripts and styles. */
function writr_scripts() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'writr-montserrat' );

	if ( wp_style_is( 'genericons', 'registered' ) )
		wp_enqueue_style( 'genericons' );
	else
		wp_enqueue_style( 'genericons', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/genericons.css', array(), null );

	wp_enqueue_style( 'writr-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );

	$colorscheme = get_theme_mod( 'writr_color_scheme' );
	if ( $colorscheme && 'default' !== $colorscheme )
		wp_enqueue_style( 'writr-color-scheme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/' . $colorscheme . '.css' , array(), null );

	if ( get_theme_mod( 'writr_wider_style' ) )
		wp_enqueue_style( 'writr-wider-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/wider.css' , array(), null );
...
}

My child functions.php contains:

<?php
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'writr-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
	wp_enqueue_style(
		'writr-child-style',
		get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
		array('writr-style')
	);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

My child style.css has all the necessary header comments (from the Codex), then:

blockquote {
	font-style: italic;
}

On my site, <blockquote> is correctly styled with italic, so I know that my stylesheet is being read; and most of the basic styling from the parent theme also appears to be in effect. The problem is that the content-area is too narrow. The parent theme writr, in the main style.css, says:

.content-area { ...
    width: 540px;
... }

Another stylesheet in parent theme, css/wider.css, is supposed to override this (and does so correctly when the parent theme is in effect):

@media only screen and (min-width: 1220px) { ...
    .content-area {
        width: 800px;
    } ...
}

So it seems that css/wider.css is not being read in.

In the example child functions.php here, there is a comment:
/* Twenty Fourteen functions and definitions*/
Does that mean to copy and paste the entire body of the parent functions.php into your child functions.php? If you do that, wouldn’t that prevent my site from seeing updates to the parent theme’s functions.php? Also, I think that it would break things to call all those functions twice, right?
