Menu and button customizations not working on child theme

    After making a child evolve theme, my button and menu bar colors changed to default colors. Changing them through the customize options shows the colors I want selected, however, those changes don’t show up at all.

    Editing on Firefox through Inspect Element, disabling the theme’s default style.css makes the buttons go back to the colors I selected. So there’s obviously some conflict or I need to add some custom css files to my child theme directory, but I haven’t figured out what. :/ My dummy site is at crystalbreakfast.com.

    Hi,

    Add your css codes to Theme Options -> Custom CSS and use !important to force it.

    For example.

    .read-more {
    background: #000000 none repeat scroll 0 0 !important;
}

    Thank you

    Thanks! Now I know what to do once I find where the parent saves my settings.

    Where can I find the codes for customize settings such as menu bar color and the read more buttons?

    >_< This just isn’t working right. The evolve theme is not functioning properly as a child, the customize options don’t carry over and aren’t displayed on the child, only the parent. Forcing them through custom CSS isn’t a reasonable solution, there’s just too many codes and even !important tags don’t force a lot of them to work.

    Nevermind, I rebuilt the child theme and it seems to be working now. It seems like it was an issue with the importing of stylesheets, it was necessary to use @import rather than the WordPress style queue.

    Hi,

    Glad to know you managed to get it working for you.

    the customize options don’t carry over and aren’t displayed on the child

    By the way, I did not mention anything about customize, I mention Theme Options -> Custom CSS, which you will need to install reduxframework plugin, in order to see the options.

    Where can I find the codes for customize settings such as menu bar color and the read more buttons?

    Header color is at the following location
    Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling -> Header and Footer -> Header color

    Button color is at the following location ( affects all buttons )
    Appearance -> -> Shortcodes -> Button

    Thank you

    Yes, I know about those options and the framework, but there was some sort of conflict between the child and parent which caused the options not to work. Fortunately it was just that the child theme was set up wrong. So if anyone else has problems with an evolve child, they should try changing how the child is configured so it will be compatible with the evolve parent.
