Storefront Child Theme

You have an extra / in your child’s style.css file

/* --------------- Theme customization starts here ----------------- *//

It should be

/* --------------- Theme customization starts here ----------------- */

Then, instead of

.site-branding h1 a {
   color: red;    
}

Just remove the h1 element

.site-branding a {
   color: red;    
}

Hey @smokingblends – on top of what @jarretc said if you only are going to add a few lines of custom CSS, I’d advise using Appearance > Customize > Custom CSS instead. That’s a lot easier to set up, you’ll get live previews and save drafts:

Hey Jarret,

I noticed the extra /. I removed it and it did not work so I put it back in because that is how it was done in the instructions.

I have removed it again and followed your instructions. Still not working.

Our php functions file is completely blank per the instructions. Could that have something to do with this?

@jobthomas I agree. We have one site that we use only css and another in which we have a child theme. We are going to get one set up here an working ( hopefully ) and see if we need it as we continue to work on the site.

Its working for me, try forcing a cache clear on your browser or adding something like ?nocache onto the end of your site URL

Hey Jarret,

Right again. Yep, I checked it in another browser and it is good to go. We do not have a caching plugin set up here so I did not think it would be that. It looks like we need to install one.

Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated.
