Child theme enqueue method doesn't load child css

    I recently tried out the new enqueue method for child theme development, but no matter what I do, I can’t get my site to load the child theme’s CSS.

    I have the JetPack plugin enabled, and when I use Custom CSS, that loads (which is the case right now).

    I can’t see any changes from style.css, however, which is placed in my child theme directory.

    Here’s my site: http://guiseppegetto.com/.

    Please advise.

    In order to have a child theme (you are not linking enqueue method to properly above):

    1. Your current theme must support a Child Theme.
    2. If 1 is true, the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes will work when done right (consult theme provider first):

    A. Create the Child Theme Folder (via FTP or host provided file management tool(s)).
    B. Create a style.css file (per the instructions on the basic child theme setup per your link) and add it to that folder (via FTP or host provided file management tool(s)).

    C. Admin Dashboard>Appearance>Themes>Make the Child Theme the Active Theme.

    The above works for self hosted WordPress.org sites.

    If that fails, discuss with Theme Provider. You can revert above by simply removing the folder of the child theme – WP will revert to last theme in use.

    I did all that, including contacting my theme provider, who said not to use the enqueue method.

    Custom styles still not appearing.

    When I do a view source on your site, I see the child theme’s style.css file being linked in twice, so it’s definitely getting called in. Also, when I inspect your site using Chrome DevTools, it seems like all of the rules from the child theme’s style.css file are being applied correctly. Is there a rule which you think is not?
