Illustratr Child Theme Creation

  • Hello,

    I am trying to get a workable child of the Illustratr theme. I have not made any changes to the theme and this is a fresh install. I have looked at the codex and so many websites on how to write it best. I even tried the old @import url (which I prefer not doing since it is the old way). I got my parent theme loaded and I created the functions.php and style.css. The codex mentioned a confusing bit about the enqueue being different if your theme has multiple .css files, which Illustratr does. Illustratr has 3. style.css, editor-style.css and rtl.css. I created those files too.

    I cannot get this child theme to call the parent style sheet, or even the header or footer. WordPress says it is calling the parent but I don’t have anything except a basic html page of posts and text.

    Here is what I got so far.

    style.css

    /*
 Theme Name:   Illustratr Child
 Theme URI:    https://wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/
 Description:  Illustratr Child Theme
 Author:       me
 Author URI:   https://wordpress.com/themes/
 Template:     illustratr

 Text Domain:  illustratr-child
*/

    functions.php

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

    rtl.css

    /*
Theme Name: Illustratr Child
Template: illustratr
*/

    editor-style.css

    /*
 Theme Name:   Illustratr Child
 Theme URI:    https://wordpress.com/themes/illustratr/

*/

    What simple oversight am I missing?

    This didn’t work either and I even tried calling all 3 .css.

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'illustratr_child_enqueue_child' );
function illustratr_child_enqueue_child() {
  wp_register_style( 'illustratr', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_register_style( 'illustratr', get_template_directory_uri() . '/editor-style.css' );
wp_register_style( 'illustratr', get_template_directory_uri() . '/rtl.css' );
  wp_enqueue_style( 'illustratr-child', get_stylesheet_uri(), array( 'illustratr' ) );
}

}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'illustratr_child_enqueue_child' );

    I found to create child theme here.
