I happened to find this by accident as I was creating a child theme to be able to help someone at the WordPress.org forums.
Basically, instead of doing this on the style.css of the child theme:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
/** * Theme Name: My Child Theme * Template: parent-theme */ @import url(../parent-theme/style.css); /* My Child Theme CSS */ |
Add the following on the functions.php of the child theme:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
// Faster than @import add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_child_theme_scripts' ); function my_child_theme_scripts() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-theme-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); } |
This alternative makes sense and it does work!
