I'm using a child theme and need to enqueue the stylesheet for a slider. The css file is located in a folder in the parent theme directory, i.e. /parent-theme/css/flexislider.css
I created the child theme using a plugin which added a functions.php file to the child theme directory with the following code:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',array('parent-style')
);
}
I assume I have to add another entry to the above function referencing flexislider.css but I'm not quite sure how to do it.
*UPDATED
Based on what you added to the question, you should be able to just add to that function and register the stylesheet. The full function would look like this:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',array('parent-style')
);
wp_enqueue_style('flex-slider',get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/flexislider.css');
}
I don't have much experience with child-themes, but following the model in that function, I think get_template_directory points to the parent theme and not the child theme, which you said the flexislider code is located

hello i have a problem with css in my child theme its not working this is the code i use in functions.php
the problem is the style in file app.css is not applying in the page but when i move the same css to the costomize ( additionnal css) its working perfectely.
if (!function_exists('succulents_qodef_child_theme_enqueue_scripts')){
function succulents_qodef_child_theme_enqueue_scripts() {
$parent_style = 'succulents-qodef-default-style';
wp_enqueue_style( 'customstyle', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/app.css');
wp_enqueue_style('succulents-qodef-child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array($parent_style));
// wp_enqueue_style('succulents-custom', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/app.css', array($parent_style));
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'succulents_qodef_child_theme_enqueue_scripts' );
}
when i see the code source of the page i can see the app.css but for some reason its not applying
I need to include some external css files, i use this snippet in functions.php but neither of them works.. Why..?
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_css' );
function add_css() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_template_directory_uri().'/assets/css/bootstrap.css' );
}
I'm using Twenty-Twenty-One child theme
This is my style.css
/*Theme Name: Twenty Twenty-One Child
Theme URI: https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/
Template: twentytwentyone
Author: the WordPress team
Author URI: https://wordpress.org/
*/
h2{
color:red!important;
} */
h2 is to see if it works.
If you're using a child theme, you want to use get_stylesheet_directory_uri() instead of get_template_directory_uri - Unless the stylesheets are part of the parent theme.
function add_css() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/assets/css/bootstrap.css' );
}
Depending on how your parent theme loads it's styles your function will vary. You can check the Enqueue stylesheet section in the Theme handbook for more clarification. Below is their example if the parent theme loads its style using a function starting with get_stylesheet
Make sure you are using the correct parent handle, 'parent-style' is used for TwentyFifteen theme for example.
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parenthandle = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
$theme = wp_get_theme();
wp_enqueue_style( $parenthandle, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array(), // if the parent theme code has a dependency, copy it to here
$theme->parent()->get('Version')
);
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(),
array( $parenthandle ),
$theme->get('Version') // this only works if you have Version in the style header
);
}
You should also look at the wp_enqueue_style code reference as the handle for your bootstrap style should probably not be style as it needs to be unique e.g. bootstrap-style
I manually installed my WP child theme. The stylesheet works good for most things but I keep running against the odd thing or 2 where it reverts back to the parent theme stylesheet. Right now specifically I can't adjust my footer bottom margin.
Here's the Enqueque I have in my functions.php in the child theme:
<?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' );
}
Any idea why my child theme is acting this way? Thanks
Seems like you might need to enqueue the child theme's style.css as well. Doing it this way sets the parent style as a dependency for the child style and makes sure they get loaded in the correct order. Read more here.
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' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'parent-style' ), wp_get_theme()->get('Version') );
}
I have created a child theme and have created a page-splash.php in the child theme and have also created a page-splash.css for this page, but somehow I am unable to load the page-splash.css for the page-splash.php file.
This is my code in the functions.php ( in the child theme folder)
<?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' );
}
function splash_enqueue_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'page-splash', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/page-spash.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'splash_enqueue_style' );
?>
I'd really appreciate your help on this.
What am I doing wrong??
I am working in localhost and will transfer these files to a working domain after things are working properly.
Couple of things, starting with the simplest -- You've got a typo in your page-splash.css file path. You've got it typed as page-spash.css
Additionally, there's probably no need to call two separate functions for this. You could enqueue both of those styles in one call like so:
function splash_enqueue_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
if(is_page_template('page-splash.php'){
//Path to your template.. if it's in a dir, include it before the file
wp_enqueue_style( 'page-splash', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/page-splash.css' );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'splash_enqueue_style' );
Well, I kept on searching for answers and I have found it.
It seems that using wp_head() is important if you want to load all javascript
or css files and it started to work when I did that.
I want to use the jQuery-ui .accordion function in a WordPress child theme. So far I've:
created a js file in my child theme directory and put it in no-conflict mode:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$( "#accordion" ).accordion();
});
Enqueued the script into my functions.php file: function myChild_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'onepage-child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
wp_enqueue_script( 'onepage-child-accordion', get_stylesheet_uri() . '/js/accordion.js', array('jquery-ui-accordion', 'jquery'), 20150507, true );
Added the add_action function: add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'myChild_scripts' );
However, the .accordion function is also dependent on jquery-ui.css. Don't I also need to include that in the enqueueing process? I can find no documentation that discusses inclusion of this file - or whether it's already part of WP core.
You can enqueue a stylesheet in the functions.php file. It may be something like this (assuming your file is in your theme directory, inside a css folder).
function my_styles()
{
wp_register_style( 'jquery-ui-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/jquery-ui.css', 'all' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'jquery-ui-style' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_styles' );
Here's some reference.
