    Hello Support Community,

    I am attempting to create a Child Theme for the parent theme, ForeverForest.

    Here is the piece to creating the Child Theme that is confusing me:
    maintain all of the Parent Theme dependencies

    I believe ForeverForest contains multiple style sheets/files.

    Can you tell me the correct functions code to put into the child theme functions file to import the parent CSS properly?

    (I understood @import. I do not understand enqueuing.)

    The site “breaks” each time I active the child theme I’ve created – the CSS isn’t loading.

    Here is a link to the site I am working on: speechtherapymarin.com

    TIA,
    Greg

    OK – I got an answer from the theme developer.

    For what ever reason, I wasn’t understanding that I needed to substitute the actual theme name in place of the word “theme” on the samples. I think it wasn’t clear because the Child Theme name isn’t relevant in the function.

    The working function in my case is:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'foreverwood_child_enqueue_styles' );
function foreverwood_child_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'foreverwood-parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

    Parent Theme: foreverwood

    (In case the above helps other non-programmers understand this new method.)

    Thanks for the support,
    Greg
