    When I include styles in my child theme I activated recently, the styles in the parent theme are still overriding this. The child theme code shows up in developer tools but is overridden. Anyone know what might be causing this?

    Can you post a link to your site with the child theme active?

    It depends on what your wanting to override. For example theme options come after the child theme css so things like the h1 font style thats set in the theme options if you wanted to override the theme options you would have to add a more specific css selector or use the important tag.

    I don’t currently have any styles in my child theme. I can post some if need be.
