  hi . i successfully created a child theme . The .css file didnt work in the editor ( although the .css in ‘additional css’ on the child template dashboard works fine. Also i could see the .css file on my editor was linked because i could see changes i made to e.g. the author name , took affect in the template information area.

  After reading about loading the css in correct order with a enqueue function:
  https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

  it didnt work but when i changed the code from parent style to child style like this before and after :
  add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_enqueue_styles’ );
  function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

  }

  to this

  add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_enqueue_styles’ );
  function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

  }

  it worked!… even though there is a ton of code ive not had to use from the tuts… just by changing the name of the parent to child…..

  will this cause problems later on or should this work ok? thx

  Hi there,

  Looks like you’re in the wrong forum. It appears that you’re using the self-hosted version of WordPress and you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums:
