Issue with Child Theme and Parent Theme page

  • Hello all
    I did some changes in the Twenty Fourteen Theme PARENT PAGE, with the modification inserted in the ORIGINAL theme Style.css.
    However, as to keep all those changes in case of updates I have been kindly advised to create a CHILD THEME page which I did in my FTP.
    I need to make some further changes and to be sure that those changes are not erased in case there is an update of the Twenty Fourteen Theme.
    The issue is that if I activate the CHILD theme page all the changes I did in the PARENT theme page are not automatically inserted.
    My first need is to move to the CHILD page style.css (https://technosource.net/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen-child/style.css ) all the changes now present in the PARENT page style.css which are now here https://technosource.net/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css.
    The second URGENT need is to hide subpages in the left side
    Thank you very much for your help: until I do not solve this issue I am stucked

    There is one reply that I got from the Host of my website which could be useful

    <<If you customize the theme using theme editor, then the changes will be reverted back when you upgrade or re-install the theme.

    Also, I was able to duplicate the issue with child theme and unable to fix the issue. The Child theme is not fetching the css contents from the main theme. The issue seems to be with the theme.>>

    Thanks for the help

    Are you using the Twenty Fourteen theme or your Twenty Fourteen child theme right now? When I looked at your site, I didn’t see your child theme’s stylesheet being loaded.

    Hello Stephen and thanks for your comment.

    If I activate the child theme I have this result

    If I activate the parent theme I have the one that is online now
    https://snag.gy/SnjPp.jpg

    The first and main issue is how I can have the child theme looking as the parent theme which is online now?

    Many thanks !

    Can you temporarily activate your child theme? It’d be easier for me to see if the parent theme’s stylesheet is being correctly loaded if the child theme is active.

    Done and thanks again

    Are you using the Simple Custom CSS plugin? If so, did you copy the entire contents of the parent theme’s stylesheet into that plugin? If so, you should disable that plugin because what’s happening is that the plugin (by design) is overriding your parent and child theme’s stylesheet.

    Hello Stephen
    My Child theme is still activated and the Simple Custom CSS has been disabled
    I also tried to modify the FTP using both

    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen”);
    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/Style.css”);

    But nothing happened

    Thanks for your help

    It should be

    @import url( "/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css");

    Note the lowercase s.

    Thanks Stephen
    I amended it..but no changes ??

    Check your @import statement again. There shouldn’t be any space between url and the opening (, and there should be a semicolon at the end, after the closing ).

    I tried all these

    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css”):

    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css”:)

    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css:”)

    No results

    FTP looks like this

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child
    Theme URI: https://example.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
    Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme
    Author: John Doe
    Author URI: https://example.com
    Template: twentyfourteen
    Version: 1.0.0
    Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
    Text Domain: twenty-fourteen-child
    */

    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css:”)

    /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– */

    You used a colon (:) , not a semicolon (;). It might be easier if you just copy-and-paste what I wrote earlier.

    @import url( "/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css");

    Sorry really for all this bothering – no changes

    I tried both

    @import url(“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css”);

    @import url (“/3Dprinting/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/style.css”);

    /*
