Child theme doesn't work

Hi there!

I’ve just created a child theme of arcade basic and I’m not having the problems you described.

Did you follow these steps when creating your child theme?

1. Create a new folder in the themes directory called arcade-basic-child

2. Create a style.css file within that folder containing the following code:

/*
 Theme Name:   Arcade Basic Child
 Description:  Arcade Basic Child Theme
 Template:     arcade-basic
 Text Domain:  arcade-basic-child
*/

3. Create a functions.php file within that folder containing the following code:

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style')  );
}

4. Activate your child theme (Appearance -> Themes)

You can read more about child themes here or watch a tutorial here.

I hope that helps!
