Decided to just hack it by emptying new_category_menu_cb and place all menus in the sidebar.php. It’ll work till it breaks lol.

Yes…I just realised image size is probably why its loading so incredibly slow at the moment. Thank you again for all the help you’ve given me!such a lifesaver!!

Turns out ambrosia theme works fine as a parent theme (thus far) :’)

Thank you,

it’s still not loading my images properly. When viewing resources, there’s 2 logo.png from different paths (probably my fault somewhere down the line), and its looking at the right place for my background.png however it’s not loading the image anyway, would you have any idea as to why?

Edit: turns out its a capitalisation problem again. it is now loading the image properly.

Thank you so much for your help! Was stuck on this for way too long!

folder name of child theme is confettitheme

thank you, I added in the } I think it may be working now as the background has disappeared, however its not retrieving the image that should be in the background now. My images are inside /confettitheme/images/

I know the child theme is working because I’ve changed the custom 2 menus (provided by ambrosia) into 5 menus. It’s just the stylesheet thats completely ineffective

Yes I did

and within the child theme style.css, i imported the parent style.css and looking at https://www.venutip.com/content/right-way-override-theme-functions

I tried the following:

// Removes thematic_blogtitle from the thematic_header phase
function remove_ambrosia_actions() {
    remove_action('get_header','ambrosia_load_styles',3);
}
// Call 'remove_thematic_actions' during WP initialization
add_action('init','remove_ambrosia_actions');

// Add our custom function to the 'thematic_header' phase
add_action('get_header','new_load_styles', 3);

// Load CSS
function new_load_styles() {
	if (!is_admin()) {
		wp_enqueue_style('fontapi', 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:regular,italic,bold,bolditalic&subset=greek,latin');
		wp_enqueue_style('main', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
	}
}

which didn’t crash the styling, however it still doesn’t make the child style override the parent

i had changed

wp_enqueue_style('main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');

to

wp_enqueue_style('main', get_style_directory_uri() . '/style.css');

in parent functions.php

and

//Custom menu support
/*if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menus' ) ) {
	register_nav_menus(
		array(
			'main'  => __('Sidebar main menu'),
			'secondary' => __('Sidebar secondary menu'),
		)
	);
}

// Ambrosia Custom Menus Callback (HTML5 markup)
// Categories menu
function ambrosia_category_menu_cb() {
	print '<nav class="main"><ul>';
	wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
	print '</ul></nav>';
}

// Pages menu
function ambrosia_pages_menu_cb() {
	print '<nav class="secondary">';
	wp_page_menu('sort_column=menu_order&*/
menu_class=pages');
	print '</nav>';
}

from parent functions.php to

//Custom menu support
if ( function_exists( 'register_nav_menus' ) ) {
	register_nav_menus(
		array(
			'first'  => __('Sidebar first menu'),
			'second' => __('Sidebar second menu'),
			'third'  => __('Sidebar third menu'),
			'fourth'  => __('Sidebar fourth menu'),
			'fifth'  => __('Sidebar fifth menu'),
		)
	);
}

function ambrosia_category_menu_cb() {
	print '<nav class="first"><ul>';
	wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
	print '</ul></nav>';

	print '<nav class="second"><ul>';
	wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
	print '</ul></nav>';

	print '<nav class="third"><ul>';
	wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
	print '</ul></nav>';

	print '<nav class="fourth"><ul>';
	wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
	print '</ul></nav>';

	print '<nav class="fifth"><ul>';
	wp_list_categories('orderby=name&title_li=');
	print '</ul></nav>';
}

in the new child functions.php and that’s when it gave the warning

I imported from the parents CSS and added my own (but these that I added are just sections of the parent css but changed to have different values)

I’m running the child theme, but my style.css won’t override the parent theme’s style…would you happen to know a good way?

For now it works as I’ve changed the call to stylesheet in parent functions.php back to the original get_template_uri as opposed to get_style_uri. Ofcourse it follows that my stylesheet is not applying anymore as that was the only solution i had found for overriding parent stylesheet with child stylesheet
