Can't get the css to work in the child theme Evolve

    Hi everybody,
    I am trying to get the css in my child theme from the Evolve theme to work.
    The author of the theme says he can’t help me.
    I have this in the style.css of my child theme:

    /*
Theme Name:     Evolve Child
Theme URI:      https://www.secretsistersblog.com/
Description:    Child Theme Evolve
Author:         Johanna Ouwerling
Author URI:     https://www.secretsistersblog.com
Template:       evolve
Version:        1.0
*/

@import url( '../evolve/style.css' );

    Then I have placed the header.php, the functions.php, the content-blog.php, the index.php and the folder library in the child theme folder.
    I changed all those files except the functions.php, but I thought the functions.php should be there too. Is that correct?

    My main problem is, that I can’t get the files from the library folder to work. In it is an important css file. And my site doesn’t load that.
    Should I include the path to this folder somewhere and where?

    The js from the library folder isn’t working either, but I managed to get that to work by placing that folder directly in the child theme folder. Next to the index.php etc.

    The only way I can get the css to work is when I insert it in the admin of the theme. The author created this possibility in the wp admin.
    But I don’t know if when the author updates his theme, I loose all my changes.
    I have the child theme activated now and it works alright.
    I hope somebody understands what I am writing here.
    My main question also is, how can I get the css inside the library folder to work?
    My website is here:

  • Late response, but you don’t have to worry about theme updates overwriting your custom css entered in the options panel. That code is stored in the database so will survive an update – but to be sure, I usually copy it to notepad before updating.

    Thanks Webbrewers. I also found a way to get the child theme to work, but that gives a whole lot of css problems, so I stay with entering css changes in the options panel. ??
