Parent css overwrites child css responsiveness

  • Hello everyone,

    I have a bit of a problem currently. On my website I have a child theme installed. In the functions.php of my child theme I import only the parent css (child css is imported by default). But in the parent theme folder ‘styles’ there is also an other responsive-style.css. The responsive-style sheet is for devices with a width of 768 px. Everything is working fine, until I try with a device under 768px. The parent responsive-style.css overwrites my responsive css I have put in the child style.css

    Anyone knows how to fix this? It would mean a lot to me, I’ve been struggling this for a couple weeks..

    Kind regards,

    Robin Buren

    @kuckovic I have done that, when I test it gives this: https://gyazo.com/a43858b73c98c2ccbed59ccfb1308bce

    I need that style-responsive from the parent but in the child I have to overwrite it I think. Otherwise, when I update I have to comment out the import of the style-responsive.css in the functions.php of the parent theme.

    Kind regards,

    Robin

    Yes, I understand that.
    The problem is, that your parent-theme is overriding your enqueue-function, and loading the responsive-stylesheet after your chils-theme stylesheet.

    We will fix this.
    The problem is, I do not know your theme unfortunately.
    BUT! We can try to dequeue your responsive-stylesheet, and then enqueue it again.
    In your child functions.php please comment out previous code, and add the following:

    function fix_stylesheet_problem() {

    wp_dequeue_style('thinkup-responsive', get_template_directory_uri() . '/styles/style-responsive.css');
    wp_enqueue_style( 'thinkup-responsive', get_template_directory_uri() . 'styles/style-responsive.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'fix_stylesheet_problem');

    @kuckovic I have some good news I think.

    Your method with deque en enqueue works, but I had to change it a little bit:

    My changes:

    1. this is my method now in the functions.php of the child:

    function fix_stylesheet_problem() {

    wp_dequeue_style('thinkup-responsive', get_template_directory_uri() . '/styles/style-responsive.css');
    wp_enqueue_style( 'thinkup-responsive', get_template_directory_uri() . '/styles/style-responsive.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'fix_stylesheet_problem');

    2. I have put all of my css from the style-responsive.css to the style.css. The style-responsive in the child theme is gone now.

    Could you please take a look and confirm this before I am getting to enthusiastic

    Kind regards,

    Robin
