Can't get child theme changes to work

    I am using Colormag theme and want to make some customisations of CSS, functions.php and 404.php so I created a child theme “colormag-child” which activated OK but I cannot get the changes to display.

    To create my child theme I made a new theme folder called “colormag-child” and added a style.css like:

    /*
 Theme Name:     Colormag Child Theme
 Theme URI:      http://themegrill.com/theme-instruction/colormag/
 Description:    ColorMag Child Theme
 Author:         Tony Gilbert
 Author URI:     http://www.websupportguy.com
 Template:       colormag
 Version:        1.0.0
*/

@import url("../colormag/style.css");

/* write custom css */

    To test if it’s working I have added a new H2 style like:

    h2 {
    font-size: 48px;
/*    font-size: 32px;*/
    line-height: 1.2;
}

    But the H2s in posts are still showing at 32px, not 48 px, so I know the CSS in the child theme is not being loaded.

    Any idea why it’s not being loaded? The site is http://www.travelnasia.com if you would like to take a look. I’ve already searched for posts with similar problems and found nothing that was helpful for me.

    Thanks, Tony

    In the code snippet you posted here, you’ve correctly included the semicolon at the end of the @import line. But on your actual site, you don’t have the semicolon at the end of the @import line. Also, I don’t see the h2 { ... } code on your site.

    Hello, I am using the @import code to make a colormag child theme. It works but now all of my pages are listed on the menu of the home page as opposed to the 5 that I wish as menu items. What is happening and how do I fix this? Thank you
