I have created a file structure in the same format as my parent theme. My parent theme is called Alpine and within Alpine there is a functions.php and style.css file. There do not appear to be any additional style.css files.
I have created a directory called Alpine-child and within that I have created a functions.php and style.css file.
I can't work out why any changes I make to the child style.css are not implemented but they are when I make the same changes in parent style.css
This is my child style.css:
/*
Theme Name: Alpine Child
Theme URI: http://www.creative-ispiration.com/wp/alpine/
Description: My first child theme, based on Alpine
Author: MilkshakeThemes
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/milkshakethemes
Template: Alpine
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: one-column, two-columns, right-sidebar, fluid-layout, custom-menu, editor-style, featured-images, post-formats, rtl$
Text Domain: alpine-child
*/
This is my child functions.php file:
<?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' );
}
?>
Take a look at your <head> tag. More importantly look at the order of your stylesheets.
The styles from your child theme are being added first and then all the styles from your parent theme. This will cause the styles from the parent theme to override your child theme styles.
You can change the priority of your my_theme_enqueue_styles function to run after the parent by using the third parameter of add_action. This will enqueue your child theme styles last and allow the CSS to work as expected.
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles', 11 );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
?>
This worked for me:
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'twentyseventeen-style';
$child_style = 'twentyseventeen-child-style';
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( $child_style, get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
?>
and none of the other answers did.
After updating from Divi 4.4.1 to Divi 4.10.8 the Child theme parent CSS was not working. I did some research om my website and realized that Divi style.css file was empty with only header info (after the update) and that the code needed to show the CSS was now in a different file (style-static.min.css) I changed the file name in my Child Theme functions.php file from style.css to style-static.min.css. This solved my problem and the CSS is working.
See underneath the code I used:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 11);
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style-static.min.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('parent-style')
);
}
You need to enqueue the child theme style.css so your function should be:
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
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')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
Take a look at the documentation.
Craig Hick's answer worked for me and I also realize why my default code from the Wordpress documentation wasn't working.
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
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')
); }
In my case, the line wp_get_theme()->get('Version') returned 1.0.0 which was the same version number as the parent theme.
So I just changed the child theme css version number to 1.0.1 and it worked.
My child theme currently has the following code:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );
function enqueue_parent_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}
//load child theme custom CSS
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles', 11 );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
}
?>
Previously, the code I used only had the first part before //load child theme custom CSS part, and it was unable to get the custom CSS. I have added the code #jrod suggested above and it worked. I need to confirm with you guys that my child theme code is complete, and I don't have to add anything else. I am not sure if this also fetches the custom JS files I have in the child theme JS files.
<?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' );
}
?>
Just remove version from comment in child them style.css it's working for me in wordpress 6.1

I've created a child theme of the twentyseventeen theme. In the child's theme folder I have a "style.css" and a "functions.php" file. Inside of the style.css file I have:
/*
Theme Name: Personal_theme
Theme URI: http://wordpress:8888/
Description: This is a child theme of twentyseventeen
Author: My name
Author URI: ...
Template: twentyseventeen
Version: 0.1;
*/
.entry-title {
color: blue;
}
and inside of functions.php:
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
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")
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>
If I add "!important!" to the style, it works, it turns blue. If I use the inspector tool, I can see that the child stylesheet is being loaded after the parent, but the style is overwritten by the parent. I'm new to Wordpresss, is any of the parameter's in the functions.php wrong? Something I have to change?
This problem is most likely caused be CSS selector specificity. Essentially, the parent css rule is more narrowly tailored to hit that element than the rule you're assigning. You can get your css to take over by using rules that are more specific than the parent css, or use the same rules, in which case yours will take priority, as it is loaded later.
Try updating your function to
<?php
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') );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>
Afterwards please provide a screenshot of what is actually being loaded in your console.
Not sure why you created a variable of the parent-style, but you can keep using that of course.
Hope this helps
Try adding
#import url("..twentyseventeen/style.css");
above .entry title at the top of your child stylesheet. This is required along with your Template name. Hope this helps.
My child-theme stylesheet doesnt seem to be working. I think the script needs to change to load it last but I'm not sure how to change the priority.

This the functions.php file:
<?php
function thim_child_enqueue_styles() {
// Enqueue parent style
wp_enqueue_style( 'thim-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'thim_child_enqueue_styles', 100);
You should enqueue also 'parent-style' and set it as a dependency of 'child-style'. It will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it. So rewrite your enqueue function accordingly:
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
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')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
Take a look at the documentation.
this is my test page e-commerce shop: https://shop.amir-rahbaran.com/
this is the parent style:
https://colorlib.com/shapely
functions.php:
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
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')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>
The shapely-master (parent) and shapely-child are both located in the theme folder (same hierarchy).
This is my shapely-child style.css:
/*
Theme Name: Shapely-Child
Template: shapely
Theme URI: https://colorlib.com/wp/themes/shapely

To make it work you can try replacing the code of function my_theme_enqueue_styles with the following modified code.
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('shapely-bootstrap') );
wp_dequeue_style('shapely-style');
wp_enqueue_style( 'shapely-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('parent-style')
);
}
To resolve the issue please make change in the function my_theme_enqueue_styles as i have described above and then change the following line in the style.css file of your child theme
Template: shapely
with the following line.
Template: shapely-master
In this way, it will not work :
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/shop.amir-rahbaran.com/wp-content/themes/shapely-master/style.css' );
Because the result of the enqueue is an incorrect stylesheet path :
../wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/shop.amir-rahbaran.com/wp-content/themes/shapely-master/style.css
After checking your website source code with inspection tool, it seems is working.
I have tested too the following function, and it works:
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
Still not working for you?
I am using this theme:https://dessign.net/sold-responsive-woocommerce-free/
and I have created a child theme. I set it up by adding
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() .
/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
but certain things are not being applied like the sticky headeror mobile menu. Is there anything else I need to include?
Your child theme's stylesheet will usually be loaded automatically. If it is not, you will need to enqueue it as well. Setting 'parent-style' as a dependency will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it. See here a more detailed discussion :
<?php
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style';
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 )
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

I am trying to create a child theme but I think that there is something wrong with my functions.php.
(<?php)add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'sydney', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}function theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'sydney';
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'sydney-child',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style )
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
May Be this problem is due to function.php file in your child theme.
Child theme’s functions.php is loaded first implies that you can create the user functions of your theme pluggable - that are replaceable by a child theme - by mentioning them restrictively. E.g.:
if ( ! function_exists( 'theme_special_nav' ) ) {
function theme_special_nav() {
// Do something.
}
}
In that way, a child theme can replace a PHP function of the parent by simply declaring it beforehand.
