Child Theme Not Functioning Correctly

  • I have created a child theme of TheSimplest using the method outlined in the WordPress Codex.

    Unfortunately, it does reproduce the site correctly. All the fonts are displaying much smaller.

    I duplicated and added the Includes Folder. That didn’t help. Added the Assets folder as well. Still all small text.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • I had a similar problem when trying to create a child theme of ‘Blog Guten’, this is a theme on the www.ads-software.com repository which also enqueues files like bootstrap before it enqueues the style sheet for the theme and child theme. Take a look at the support forum for ‘Blog Guten’, I outline there what needs to be done to get around this problem. Maybe not the best solution but one which I came up with to use a child theme for ‘Blog Guten’. I am in the process of trying to set up a working child theme for ‘thesimplest’, maybe I need to implement the same solution.

    another way that seems to work:

    add this to the theme’s functions.php


    if ( is_child_theme() ) {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css' );
    }
    wp_enqueue_style( 'thesimplest-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );

    I know this involves changing the code in a theme if it is updated, but it ia a simpler method of enqueueing the stylesheet for a child theme.
