– Activating the parent theme works; however, that defeats the purpose of using a child theme.
– Disabling the cache does not solve the issue.
– Disabling all plugins does not solve the issue.
– Removing all child theme CSS does not solve the issue.
– Running an empty child theme (i.e. no customization, just the template tags with an empty functions and stylesheet) does not solve the issue.

A) Deactivating Page Builder doesn’t fix the issue.
B) No, I really can’t just “deactivate it.” All of the site content is in Page Builder containers.

Page Builder is a fantastic plugin and also not the problem.

I experienced the same issue on two live sites (1 multisite and 1 regular install) as well as a local test environment.

– Updated to 4.9
– Updated all themes and plugins
– Cleared cache, cookies, rebooted, took a walk
– tried editing child theme with and without all plugins disabled.

I was completely unable to edit child theme files without ftp’ing to the server. After uploading, the site ran fine with the edits in place.

I also tried disabling all plugins, then attempting edits. That did not work either.

Comparing clean installs of the parent theme and child theme, in the parent theme the width, height, and line-height of the topbar socio icons are 20px compared to 16px in a brand new, clean child theme.

Something with the parent style sheet is not being enqueued properly in the child.
