Child theme reading original theme files

  • I’m trying to make some changes to my theme-styles.css file but the browser continues to read whichever updates I make to the original theme-styles.css file.

    I’ve replicated the folder tree which is theme/assets/css/theme-styles.css.

    I’ve also added the following to the main styles.css file which appears in the original
    @import url(assets/css/theme-styles.css); (not sure if this was necessary, in any case it made no difference)

    Am I overlooking something ?

    To clarify the above, the theme-styles.css file I wish to amend is in my child theme

    how do you call the theme-style.css in your child theme?
    are you enqueuing that stylesheet in your child theme?

    what does the developer of your theme say to your issues?

    Hi Michael, thanks for your reply.

    Currently in my functions.php file I have the following:

    <?php
//* Code goes here
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );

function enqueue_parent_styles() {
   wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}

    I guess this is pulling through the main css file which itself contains only this:

    @import url(assets/css/normalize.css);
@import url(assets/css/icomoon.css);
@import url(assets/css/theme-styles.css);
@import url(assets/css/woocomerce.css);

    Do I need to add additional code in the functions.php file to pull through the theme-styles.css file?
