Broken child themes

    I have used this theme for a number of child themes, and as of the latest update, the css structure is changed and my sites are all breaking upon upgrading the theme.

    I’ve had to revert to backups, and now have to invest many hours in fixing my code in order to keep using this theme… or else recreate the sites using a different parent. This is essentially defeating the purpose of building a child theme, or using custom css.

    I’m extremely disappointed, and therefore changing my previous 5 star review to 1 star (since that is the lowest I can change it to).

    Do you have a header.php in the child theme? If there is this code in it then delete it.
    <?php wp_enqueue_style('responsive-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), false, '1.7.9');?>

    Also there should be no @import in the style.css

    This issue only affected a small portion of users who had old code in the header.php. The change was made so uses are able to load a minified version of the css to increase the page load time and thus increase the speed of the site.
