You haven’t activated your child theme yet.

no because it is not working, it doesn’t recognise the css, so for the moment i work directly on the theme

Did you “activated” the child theme from the Themes page?

I tried for the first time, creating a child theme (for Clean Retina) and successfully did so. Here are the steps for record:

1. First I created a directory “clean-retina-child” (name doesn’t matter), in ../wp-content/themes/ directory.
2. Then I made a style.css file in that directory.
3. After that I wrote the following code in a file (which reduces the gaps above header and between header and post):

/*
Theme Name:     Clean Retina Child
Theme URI:      https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/clean-retina
Description:    Child theme for the Clean Retina Theme
Author:         Vyom
Author URI:     https://vineetkumar.me/
Template:       clean-retina
Version:        1.0
*/

@import url("../clean-retina/style.css");
@import url("../clean-retina/rtl.css");

/* =Header
----------------------------------------------- */
#branding {
	background: url("images/header-bg.jpg");
	border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
	-moz-box-shadow: 0 7px 0 #f3f3f3;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 0 7px 0 #f3f3f3;
	box-shadow: 0 7px 0 #f3f3f3;
}
.hgroup-wrap {
	padding-top: 25px;
	padding-bottom: 20px; /* Changed from 45px */
}
.hgroup-wrap a {
	display: block;
}
.hgroup-wrap img {
	margin-top: 39px;
  	margin-bottom: 13px;
}
#site-logo {
	float: left;
  	margin-top: 1px; /* Changed from 39 px */
  	margin-bottom: 1px; /* Changed from 13 px */
}

4. I went to <mysite>/wp-admin/themes.php and changed theme to the theme which I just made, “Clean Retina Child”.

I think you missed 4th step.

PS: This theme rocks btw!! ??

Update: Ok, I kind of screwed up a bit.
After setting up the child theme, purpose of gaps was solved, but widgets kind of misplaced their places. I had to set up the widgets again. But now everything seems fine! ??

thank you for your help!
i’ll try tomorrow and i’ll tell you if it worked (hope so)

hi,
why ?
@import url("../clean-retina/rtl.css");
I just put
@import url("../clean-retina/style.css");
and it’s good, it seems
