I’m trying to create a child theme which doesn’t seem to be working. I’m just at the point where I’m trying to verify that the child theme is making changes.

With the parent theme, I have a header image uploaded. Once I activate the child theme (only with style.css for now), that icon goes away but I still have the generic styling of the parent them. My understanding is that the parent theme should disappear entirely until I “call it” and the site should be text-only.

I’ve also attempted to change the body background but this change is not represented, either.

So, activating the child theme does set the site back to the basic styling of the parent theme, but doesn’t allow any changes. Any ideas why this would be?

Here’s the entirety of my style.css file.

/*

body {
background-color: lightblue;
}

Thanks!
