    I’m adding code to my child, I do the update and it does not change the page. When I make the update right in the parent it works. Of course I don’t want to make updates in the parent template, I was just testing.
    I’m obviously not doing the process correctly to override the parent.
    I’m using godaddy frames. my site is robynstroud.com

    I’m new,, please help

    I go to Appearance > Editor

    Select my theme on the right side,
    Add the new code, then press Update File on the bottom.

    I do the same process the the child code and it doesn’t work.

    Code from Parent:

    .widget-container ul li, .widget ul li {
  font-size: 14px;
  line-height: 1.8em;
  list-style: none;
}

    I change the font size and it works.

    Code from Child:

    /*
Theme Name: Go Daddy Frames Child
Template: gdgallery
Author: Child Theme Configurator
Version: 1.0.1428956338
Updated: 2015-04-13 20:18:58
*/

.widget-container ul li, .widget ul li {
  font-size: 18px;
}

    No change after I update the file

    please have your child theme activated to assist with troubleshoooting.

    if your child theme is activated right now, then it does not seem to load the style.css of the child theme.

    in this case, please contact the developer of your theme for support.

    I’m not sure how to activate it?
    My parent and child show up in Appearance > editor, doesnt that mean its active? I’m new at this

    Thanks

    you need to activate the ‘child theme’ via the ‘appearance – themes’ dashboard page –
