Could you point out a specific style that’s not working? As far as I can see your Child Theme is working fine.
Hi Andrew! Yes, I can. Here is one specific style:
.promo_content h3 {
color: #009999;
font-size: 28px;
font-family: 'Gilda Display', serif;
}
This is the style of the heading 3 in the promo box just under the slider on the home page. The text should be a teal color and the font should be a google font called Gilda Display.
And in the footer, these are the styles I want:
.footer {
background: #caae96;
}
.footer_bottom{
background: #e85f18;
color:#fffdf6;
}
.copyright {
color: #313131;
font-family: 'Droid Sans', sans-serif;
}
.copyright a{
color:#fffdf6;
}
.copyright a:hover{
color:#e85f18;
}
These are not showing either.
Is there a special callout for Google fonts? I think there is…where should that go? Because none of my fonts are coming out.
Does that help?

It looks like your theme pulls in a load of stylesheets after your Child Theme style.css file has loaded, which can mean your styles in your Child Theme get overridden.
You could try using more specific selectors,
E.g. instead of this:
.promo_content h3
Try this:
body .promo_content h3
Hi again! I just put this command at the top of my child style.css:
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Over+the+Rainbow);
I got this command from google fonts.
And then put this in my styles and it did not work!
font-family: 'Over the Rainbow', cursive;
It is still showing it as open sans font.

I will try that Andrew. Are there some stylesheets that I don’t need so that it won’t be overridden? Or do I list my stylesheets in a different order, would that help?
Paula Jo
Okay, your suggestion worked Andrew! The color and font are there! I guess I just have to go over all my selectors? That will be a big job. It’s not that long a stylesheet but long enough. Would adding “body” work on a lot of them? Or just the parent selector above the selector I have?

I think prepending “body” to them will work for the majority of cases, however you could address this with your theme’s vendors/ authors for a more sustainable solution.
Good idea…thanks so much Andrew! I REALLY appreciate your quick help!
