Using the extra css did work for the entry-title. But that wasn’t the change I was interested in. I was just experimenting with that because it seemed like a simple example that would let me know if my changes were getting in.

The woocommerce change is the one I really care about – and now that is working on peggythrasher.com/shop.

So I’m good for now.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Willem0,

Yes, I tried the extra css and it did work. The site doesn’t go live
for another month, so I’ll keep working on the child theme, but if I
can’t manage that, I could use the extra css in the meantime.

Thanks for the helpful tip.

I have created a child theme and I’m trying to make the changes in the child theme’s style.css. I have successfully done this on a different WordPress site (and have basically copied the functions.php and style.css files from that other site). I think that this is the safest way to make changes that will last through updates.

Thanks, Willem0. That is the goal!
But it doesn’t work when I change my style.css file because it isn’t applying my style.css file. I believe that the problem is not with the css itself, but with the way that it is not connecting the .css file in order to apply the properties.

Nope. Still not working.

What concerns me is that while my style.css file is listed in the Head section of the page, no matter what I put in the css file doesn’t get reported when I “inspect” in the styles section. I would expect that if something were to be overriding my css, that I would still see my changes in the list of Styles that are applied to the element. My changes would be crossed out, and some other properties would be applied, but I think that I should at least SEE them in the styles tab. That leads me to think that there is something wrong in how I am including my files.

Currently:

/*
 Theme Name:   PTBasketsChild
 Description:  A child theme for Peggy Thrasher Baskets
 Author:       Peggy Thrasher
 Template:     ribosome
 Version:      1.0.0
*/

.post-11 {
	display: hidden!Important;
}

 <?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );

function enqueue_parent_styles() {

   wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );

}

 ?>

At this point, I would be happy to be able to change anything, just so I would know that the child files are actually being used.

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the Template-structure doc. I think that will be really helpful.

I’m now trying to do something really basic, just to get my css to be seen. I’m trying to change the entry-title with the name of my business to purple. I put as much specificity in as I could:

body #main #primary #content #post-11 .post-11 .entry-header .entry-title {
color: purple;
}

But when I look at the styles that are applied I don’t see my style.css in there anywhere (version 1.0.0). Shouldn’t it be listed and ignored if it is not being applied?

Thanks so much for your help. This is driving me crazy!

Perfect! Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you both for your suggestions. I appreciate the time and effort!

It looks like all of the solutions require me to learn something new – which I love to do. But I don’t have the luxury of time on this project. I think that the parent form will need to be phase 2. They’ll just have to fill the section out twice if they have two kids in the meantime.

Thanks for helping me to understand the choices.

It looks like custom code would be needed to export the data as separate rows for each child, where each row includes both the parent information and the child information.

You can export entries directly from the child form, if you would like. If you want the parent form data included, then custom code is needed.

My other option is to have all the children on the same form and split them out in Excel.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. Looks like Repeatable Fields is the feature that allows this. I’ll take a closer look.

Thank you for the response.

I tried deactivating the most likely plugin and the rectangle is gone.

I’ll ask them.

Thank you so much!
Shortcodes will solve my problem – so easy!
Now I’ll work on the formatting.

Much obliged!
