Hi there !

First of all I have to mentionne that I’m a pure beginner. I know many people got confronted to the same issue on other forums and websites, but none of the answers were able to help me. Or maybe I just wasn’t competent enough to understand and apply them correctly.

So here’s my issue:

I’ve been trying to install a child theme in order to fullfill some small changes on my website. I’ve managed to install it and activate it without any problem. Thing is whenever I try to change something in the style.css the changes doesn’t apply like if the stylesheet were getting overwritten or the path incorrect.

First thing I try to do was to add this to my function.php :

function child_enqueue_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), 100);

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_enqueue_styles', );

Didn’t work.

Then I added a number at the end
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_enqueue_styles', 15);

It worked but only for once. I wasn’t able to apply any other changes afterwards.

I’m a bit lost do you have any idea on how can I get it to work ?

Thanks,

RG
