Child theme with Absolum theme

Is it possible to use a child theme with Absolum ?

Sure, I just setup and made one myself. Just style.css but it worked fine.

What functions are you trying to put into your child theme? I don’t think that old thread applies with this version.

Remember, don’t copy any of the parent theme functions into your child theme.

I started from here. I created absolum-child subfolder and created a style.css here and added the following:

/*
Theme Name:     absolum-child
Theme URI:      https://personaltrainingsevenoaks.co.uk
Description:    Child theme for absolum
Author:         Mike Giles
Author URI:     https://personaltrainingsevenoaks.co.uk
Template:       absolum
Version:        0.1.0
*/

@import url("../absolum/style.css");

Activated the child theme in wp-admin.
However any css I place in the child css doesn’t get applied.
(I’m doing this on a localhost)
Thanks,

Can you give me an example of that CSS? That way I can try it on my own test installation. Your style.css file above is virtually identical to my own.

Hi,
Just trying to change colors at the moment:

#wrapper {
	background: #F7A5FA;
	margin-top: 20px;
	padding: 0 20px;
  clear: both;
  position:relative;
}

#site-title a {
	color: #F7A5FA;
  background:#1a1a1a;
  padding:0 10px;
	text-decoration: none;
  text-shadow:0 1px 2px #111;
  float:left;
}

Thanks

Hi,
I’ve also noticed that the header custom image doesn’t display when the child is activated (just the default blue) but does when the parent is activated.
