Distiple

True ?? I have no idea how its working now.

Still having problems with other code in that file. You can see my attempt at aligning the menu to the right.

ok. Its live now for a short while, for your help.

well, here, for example, is my new file with the image alignment rule which is working on the other file. I cant get this to work on the new file:

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Ten Bastard Test
Description: Child theme for the twentyten theme
Author: YG TEST
Template: twentyten
*/

@import url(“../twentyten/style.css”);

.attachment-custom_thumb {
float: right;
margin: 0 0 10px 10px;
}

Sorry for the confusion. Im not working on two sites, but rather with two copies of the same child theme. I update code on the test theme, checking it in wordpress’s live preview. If the code works, i update the files being used for the current theme.

My problem right now is in adding the code to test themes css file, where i am trying to create a new css file using the import command, as you strongly suggested.

If you look on the site now, you will see the working child theme, using code copied from the parents css. This code now contains everything i want, ive even managed to align the images.

I am now trying to add only these changes to the new css file (the one containing the import command). Once i get this right, i will replace the current themes css file with this new one. However, i am having problems adding only the changes to this file, as none of them are showing up.

I am using the same code right now on my updated theme (which you can see on the site).

I am trying to add the same code (using your example) to a file while using an import command, but its not working.

no tags or other such things required? I cannot get a rule to work in a file that includes the import rule

The css file currently includes nothing but the import command, which is working.

Can you explain to me how i should add code to a css file using the import command. This is my code right now:/*
Theme Name: Twenty Ten Bastard Test
Description: Child theme for the twentytrn theme
Author: YG TEST
Template: twentyten
*/

@import url(“../twentyten/style.css”);

And i would like to this to it: .menu ul { float:right; padding-right:20px;}

Pretty sure it was because i was stupidly not updating the name variables.

Things are now getting a bit weirder. I created a new css with the import command as you suggested, and surprise! images are aligned. However, when i copied this file to my current theme (instead of my test theme where it worked) images were not aligned. Even it is the same file in a folder in the same directory.

No idea!

working on the test theme ?? I cant update my current code since i replaced the css with the parent themes css and cant seem to add the code without getting an error. This error points to my loop.php file, but replacing the css file is what fixes it.

and thanks for the effort. i now remembered why i didnt use the import command – i had no idea how to add any css changes in the correct way, and thought it would simply be easier to use the entire code.

im pretty sure i found both errors and fixed them, but still no joy.

I havent made any changes to the css id like to keep, so i also copied the css file from the parent theme and simply added the code, but for some reason kept getting errors.

I am using developer mode in the plugin, and am testing things on a test child theme. I’ve now updated the current child theme to include the new code so you can take a look.

Im sorry, I didnt mean to argue. I dont believe i know enough to even have an opinion ??

I tried your suggestion again, but no luck. Other changes are showing up, so i dont believe this is a caching issue.

This is a problem im having with various solutions im finding, and ive posted about it here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/which-code-is-right-for-me?replies=5

btw – heres the link to the post about the import command:

Sorry ??

I am currently using a child theme on the site (www.wordsandmusic.me).

The homepage is where i would like to align the images.
