Child Theme for Flat – Only some of my CSS is working?

    I am using Flat for my theme and have created a child theme. I followed the instructions here for calling the style sheets via functions.php and have added copies of my header.php, footer.php, and page.php files that have been modified along with the functions.php and style.css files. There are all in the directory flat-child. My modified php files are showing up correctly as from the child theme, but my CSS is not appearing with the changes made to the child theme’s files.

    Should I have some sort of folder hierarchy going on for my style.css? The CSS file I am pulling the main formatting from is buried within a few levels of folders.

    I have checked the elements in questions with Firebug and they are indeed pulling their formatting from the original CSS file.

    Problem solved. I finally took my original edited CSS from the parent theme that I began with and pasted it in its entirety into the child theme’s CSS. All I can guess is somewhere in there I was missing an important selector for the few elements I wanted to change. As usual, user error! Guess next time I’ll be looking more carefully as my CSS and what is styling what. 🙂
