I've been trying to develop a simple child theme to tweak a few things on my website which currently uses the vantage theme. So far, I've had little success.
The two files (style.css and function.php) I've created only have a few lines of code, but I'm still unable to pinpoint the problem.
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles',
PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style',
get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}
?>
/*
Theme Name: vantage-child
Template: Vantage
*/
body {
color:aqua;
}
I suspect the problem is with the enqueueing in the PHP file, but all configurations that I have found on the internet and the wordpress codex don't seem to work on my site. When I activate the child theme created by my code, the site reverts to ONLY the styles in my child theme's stylesheet, instead of falling back on the parent theme's stylesheet when no styles are specified in the child theme.
For child theme you can first need to create folder with themename-child.
Then you have to create style.css file.
Put the following lines in your style.css
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child
Theme URI: http://yourwebsite.com/twentyfourteen-child/
Description: My first child theme, based on Twenty Fourteen
Author: Joshi Niket
Template: twentyfourteen
Text Domain: twenty-fourteen-child
*/
Then create functions.php in child theme folder and put the following code.
<?php
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' );
}
?>

I'm writing a custom wordpress plugin, and am trying to enqueue the plugin's CSS style. Currently testing in my local WP instance.
The styling is partially working in the Twenty Twenty Two theme (the dashicons are showing correctly, style doesn't work),
is not working in the Twenty Twenty theme (neither dashicons nor style are showing up),
but it is working properly in the Twenty Twenty One theme.
Here is the code:
function comment_rating_styles() {
wp_register_style( 'comment-rating-styles', plugins_url( '/' , __FILE__ ) . 'assets/style.css');
wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'comment-rating-styles' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'comment_rating_styles' );
It may be possible that something in the theme overwrites or disables the dashicons or the comment styles. You can try to add a higher priority, so it gets executed later.
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'comment_rating_styles', 999 );
I have WordPress theme with a child theme. After editing and saving the child style sheet, I don't see the changes. Looking at the source code, the style sheet is loaded but has this ver at the end: style.css?ver=4.9.7
Now, the styles show when I load style.css but shows an empty file with comments (the original file when first got the theme) style.css?ver=4.9.7
I understand that it is encouraged to have custom styles in the child theme but, then why doesn't WordPress support this?
Any advice or help is appreciated. Thanks.
This version added on function.php file, check it first
Better enqueue style on function.php like this
function child_themes_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), wp_get_theme()->get('Version'));
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_themes_styles' );
here I have a site, tinywolf.uk that i'm currently working on. The homepage is a static site separate from wordpress, but the blog part of the site http://www.tinywolf.uk/blog will be powered by wordpress.
Im currently using the twenty-fifteen theme, and would like to have the header and footer from the homepage in the blog as well for continuity.
So far I have created a child theme, and then a new header.php file which contains the header from the homepage. This replaces the existing wordpress header.php and displays correctly, however, the styling for the rest of the theme has disappeared. I want to maintain the styling for the posts.
How do I call the correct styling from the twenty-fifteen theme to ensure that the content (blog posts) are correctly styled?
here is my code for the child-theme header.php
I have tried including the style.css for the twenty-fifteen theme using <link rel="stylesheet" and although this brings up some of the formatting it also breaks the structure of the page.
here is the content of my functions.php:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/blog/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/style.css',
array('parent-style')
);
}
?>
and this is my child style.css:
/*
Theme Name: Tiny Theme Child
Theme URI: http://example.com/twenty-fifteen-child/
Description: Twenty Fifteen Child Theme
Author: Joel S
Author URI: http://www.tinywolf.uk/blog

*/
you have to link parent theme style.css in your child theme.
Here is a good example from codex
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
codex
If I understood true, you want to have your static page header and footer on your wp.
The only thing you need is make a copy of both parts from your static page put on separate files named header.php and footer.php then change the codes as title code to become dynamic WP codes.
After that call them into your theam.
But,
If you want using child theme do like this:
Follow all steps above and named your files as e.g. header-child.php & footer-child.php then call them like this: <?php get_header('child'); ?>
remember: header and footer must be first of your files name you cannot make like child-header.php. would not works.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I started out with an ordinary custom theme and then decided to extend the twentyfifteen theme instead so I brought in the parent theme's style per the codex, and added the Template to my style.css file.
I had some custom stuff in functions.php, but even if I delete all of it except the wp_enque_style, I still get the white screen.
I have debug turned on. There aren't any errors at all. Just a white screen.
Here's my functions file:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'twentyfifteen-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
And my Style.css
/*
Theme Name: veochild
Theme URI:
Template: twentyfifteen
Author: veo
Author URI:
Description: Veo Child Theme
Version: 1.0
License:
License URI:

Oddly enough, If I type in domain.local/wp-admin I am still able to access the admin site. If I change the theme to twentyfifteen it works fine. I don't have any other files in my theme directory other than functions.php and style.css and my theme folder is in the same directory as twentyfifteen.
Not really sure what else to look for.
Oddly enough, when I said:
I don't have any other files in my theme directory other than functions.php and style.css
...I lied or I must have been blind. What was also in that folder was an empty index.php file.
It took me a while before realizing that. Thanks for anyone who looked at this. Sorry for the waste of time.
I've created a Wordpress child theme and now want to remove the widgets from the sidebar. However all the tutorials are not helping.
Each one says to add the following code to my functions.php file in my child theme:
<?php
function unregister_old_sidebars() {
unregister_sidebar('sidebar-1');
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'unregister_old_sidebars' );
?>
However, do I copy the entire functions file from the parent theme and copy it in a new functions.php in my child theme, or is this the ONLY code that I put into my child theme functions.php file.
Nothing I do seems to be working.
