Cyberchimps Responsive child problem

    I have this morning downloaded cyberchimps Responsive theme v1.9.4.9 and immediately created a Child theme.

    I have copied the whole style.css across to the child theme, and changed a colour to ensure the child css is being recognised. Nothing else has been amended. I have populated the homepage widgets and customised menus and header through the standard method, no changes to any code.

    When I shrink the site with the child theme active, it will not respond. Widgets remain side by side and elongate to one character wide. When I convert to activate the parent theme, responsiveness is perfect with stacked widgets.

    What’s the catch?

    Use @import to import your css into your child theme. You don’t need to copy the entire stylesheet.

    Resize then refresh. It will reload the CSS.

    @import url('/url/to/style.css');

    Forgot to mention, once you’ve imported your base style.css you can override CSS selectors rather than edit them.

    Thank you!

    Since posting, I’ve put the basic CSS changes into the CSS styles customisation area within the theme, and this seems to be working both in parent and child. I will stop the security-blanket habit of copying the whole css over (I ended up doing this after customising a twentyfourteen template where colours were all over the place).

    For some reason all the Cyberchimp threads stated that @import was no longer required in a child CSS, and advised removing it which I have done with no ill effect. Is that correct? Codex seems to indicate that theme name and template are the only required lines.

    I’m not sure if that’s correct what the Cyberchimps threads say. I use @import for safe measure.

    However, if there is a dedicated section in their theme options then you wouldn’t need to include the stylesheet as that box will allow you to dynamically append your custom styles to the Theme CSS.

    Glad you got it sorted!

    How do I customize the front-page? I would like to have the front page look alot different then the rest of hte site all I would like is a bacground image and 2 boxes side by side in the middle of the screen when you click on one it brings you to one section of the website and the otehr takes you to a different section.

    @james.do – please start your own thread – this one is long out of date and your question is entirely different.

    You can do so here:
