Using Septera as child theme – Some problems
-
Hello.
I’m running Septera with a child theme and on the first glance it looks fine. However, I have experienced some issues which I’m not sure is related to the theme itself or my incompetence ??
1. The online editor shows a blank stylesheet even though the style.css file in my child themes folder has data in it.
This has never been an issue with my former child theme setup.
When I download and view the css file is has all the data in it but when viewing it online, it’s empty.2. One of the reasons I chose Septera as a theme, was the many customization options on a per-page-level. For instance the options to specify layout for any simgle page meaning I can show sidebar on one page and none on another. This worked great when I tested the theme before implementing it as a child theme.
Now I can go and change the options for a particular page, but it still maintains the default page layout specified in the theme options.I have set it all up like this:
1. Created a new folder in my themes folder called septera-child.2. Created a css file called style.css with the following information:
/*
Theme Name: Septera Child Theme
Template: septera
Version: 1.0.3.1
*/3. Created a functions.php file in the child themes folder with this function:
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-styles’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_enqueue_styles’ );Do I need to do anything else?
