Child theme problems

The problem is that you have a syntax error in your child theme’s style.css file:

}

.blog .hentry a.button {
   background-color: #bb00bb;
}

Remove the stray right brace at the very top and your Read More buttons will turn purple.

And yes, there’s something else wrong because your child theme’s stylesheet is being linked in twice. Not sure if it was caused by the plugin, but how is your functions.php file enqueuing your stylesheets? You may not need to enqueue the child theme’s style.css file since it’s already being included.

This is my entire functions.php file and I believe the default functions.php of the child theme plugin.

<?php
//
// Recommended way to include parent theme styles.
//  (Please see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme)
//
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array('parent-style')
    );
}
//
// Your code goes below
//

Since it looks like the parent theme is already enqueing the child theme’s stylesheet, remove the enqueing of it in your child theme’s function.php file, so it looks like this (i.e., you only need to enqeue the parent theme’s stylesheet):

<?php
//
// Recommended way to include parent theme styles.
//  (Please see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme)
//
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
//
// Your code goes below
//

And don’t forget to correct the syntax error in your child theme’s style.css file.

That did the trick, thanks a bunch for the help.
