Ok can someone please walk me through this:
1. When I create child theme and go into it to customize it pulls from parent theme for functionality and appearance. I make my changes and when I preview within the customization (using provided link) it opens and everything is exactly how I want it. However, when I page preview from WordPress dashboard… nothing that I have done shows.
question: why is my child theme not overriding my parent theme’s styles and functions?
example of the functions.php:
<?php
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘donovan_child_enqueue_styles’ );
function donovan_child_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = ‘donovan-style’; // This is ‘donovan-style’ for the Donovan theme.
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
wp_enqueue_style( ‘donovan-child-style’ ,
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get(‘1.0’)
);
}
?>
2. when I change my menu in the child theme customize screen why is that not being loaded?
Could someone please walk me through the child theme process setup and explain what I am doing wrong? I have followed every step of the codex to do this with both the style.css and functions.php.
What is the point of using the child theme customize if it doesn’t load any of the saved portions?? Where do those saved changes go?? How do I get them to override the parent??
Please dumb it down for me. I am very new at this. Please do not send screenshots of my code without explanation of where to find that code and how to fix it. I appreciate your patience.
I have deleted the original child theme and did a dummy twentyseventeen child just for example as it is doing same thing.
What EXACTLY do I need to do to set up child theme so that I can customize in customize link and have it look like I want to override the parent theme??
