hmm, you’re totally right. To be honest I’ve never needed to update a theme before and I can’t imagine I would ever want to update the parent theme. Even if I didn’t make any changes to it, it could still cause problems with my child theme. For example if they add in a new style and use !important I would have to update my child theme, that’s why I don’t see much of an advantage to updating. I could be wrong.

Tastes better than adding a !important after every line of css. I don’t really mind editing the source if it fits my purpose better and I know it’s not likely to cause any big problems.

I had the exact same problem as you, the order seems silly to me since I would normally use bootstrap as a base and overwrite all the styles in style.css.

To fix this go to functions.php and on line 132 you should see this (or do a search for the code)

wp_enqueue_style( 'style-css', get_stylesheet_uri() );
	wp_enqueue_style( 'blog-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/blog.css' );
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.css', '3.3.0' );

You just need to move the first line that references the style.css file below the bootstrap file and that’s it. This would also override the blog-css file, but I’m sure thats enough to solve your problem.

Take a look at my upcoming mobile app? Habitual
