I made a child OK but what if I need to edit something besides style,css?

Ah-HA! Thank you Andrew

Need some help…when ever I try to add anything to my functions.php in my child theme I get “INTERNAL SERVER ERROR”

Even when I remove what I put in there and save it I still get the error.

Here is what I have in there that was given to me by WPyogi
`<?php
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
}

The only way I get it to work is to delete the child functions.php file and recreate it with the same code and then it works again??? very strange.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Andrew and thanks here is what I was trying to do to make excerpts instead of full posts, I got this online here

Here is the code I was trying to use:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpsites_limit_content_conditionally' );
function wpsites_limit_content_conditionally( $content ) {
return substr($content, 0, 100) . '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More Link</a>';
}
return $content;
}
