Child Theme Changes Appearance and Mobile

    Hi all,

    As a beginner in WP.org, I am unable to figure out why, when I create a Child Theme to fashionistas, the font of the website changes to an uglier, shorter font, although the font of the style is the same, according to the Customize Tab.

    How do I get the exact same font as in the original template?

    Also, for some reason the mobile display is showing up as a completely different theme, with a blue bar at the top, instead of fashionistas.

    I did some minor customization on the Fashionistas template itself, but I don’t think that should matter much regarding these issues?

    Thanks!

    Hi M,

    I checked the site and saw the style.css file of the child theme, I dont see an importing of the parent theme style.css into it.

    So I’m assuming you have something like this in your child functions.php file where you have enqueued parent theme style.css:

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'function_name');

    Try adding a priority like this to the same:

    add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'function_name', 99);

    or you can follow this blog, to know more on child themes.

    Hope it helps!!

    Thanks

    Hi Maruti,

    Thanks, that did the trick with the font. May I ask what “99” means in that case?

    However, the problem with the mobile version persists and I cannot seem to find out why.

    Also, I would like to make the social media icons open a new tab, but I would prefer to keep the nice icons that are included in the theme. Will I be able to use them if I download an additional plugin? Or is it simply impossible with Fashionistas?

    Thanks for the help!

    Hi M

    99 means the priority. It just delayed the enqueue of the script. You can read more about this from codex.

    And to make the social icons open in a new tab. you can check this forum.

    Thanks

    Hi Maruti,

    Thanks for your help. Despite everything the issue with the mobile persists.

    Basically, the mobile does not look like the Fashionistas theme.

    Thanks once again,

    Mauro

    Looks like you’ve got the Jetpack mobile theme active. You can disable it by going to Dashboard > Jetpack > Jetpack and disabling the Mobile Theme module.

    Hi,

    I tried that before already, but it does not make a difference. I deactivated it now nonetheless.

    Did you receive any errors when you deactivated the mobile theme? I noticed in your original post, you mentioned that your site was thekleek.co, but you posted thezephyr.co in your most recent post; are you redirecting between those two domains?

    Nope, none at all. Yes, I moved the hosting to a new domain.

    I am quite new, so I have no clue why this is the case.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi MauroBat

    I looked into your site thezephyr.co in my android phone and it looks good to me
