Child Theme problems

    I have a child theme activated. I was trying a couple of different things, because it did not seem as though my child theme was working correctly. I have now changed something that has made a few of the styling that I have added, to not work.eg:

    My main menu is not centered anymore, this is what I have in my stylesheet:

    *Centre main menu
    */
    .main-navigation ul.nav-menu,
    .main-navigation div.nav-menu > ul {
    text-align: center;
    }

    My header image and a few of the images in my sidebar has a border again:

    /*Remove border around header image
    */
    .entry-content img, .comment-content img, .widget img, img.header-image, .author-avatar img, img.wp-post-image {
    border-radius: none !important;
    box-shadow: none !important;
    }

    The padding below the main nav bar has increased again:

    /*Remove padding under menu
    */

    .site-header {
    padding-bottom: 0;
    }

    Proudly powered by wordpress is visible again:

    /*Hide ‘proudly powered by wordpress
    */
    a[title=’Semantic Personal Publishing Platform’] { display: none; }

    And quite a couple of other things…. I think that I have set my child theme up wrong. Please help! This is how my the code at the top of my child style.css:

    /*

    did you enqueue the parent style in functions.php in your child theme ?

    function theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'parent-style';

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style )
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );

    I did, but I might have to much in there? There is too much info for what to add there… here is everything that I have in my functions.php:

    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

    }

    function theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = ‘parent-style’;

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
    get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
    array( $parent_style )
    );
    }
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );

    <?php
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/rtl.css’ );
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/editor-style.css’ );
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/editor-style-rtl.css’ );
    }
    ?>

    What should I change/remove?

    sorry I didn’t see the link to your site. You just wanting the menu to be centered.

    try adding this rule to center the menu

    ul#menu-menu-1{
    text-align:center !important;

    }

    No, that is not the only thing. I had all the above (and more) working on my site, then I changed something in my functions and/or child style that made it not work. Nothing that I have in my child style works anymore (and it did work previously!)

    I’m confused in your the code you submitted your child theme is name twentytwelvechild. But, When I look at your code for your site it says the child theme name is hoopla which is a child of twentytwelve.

    These appear to be 2 different themes altogether.

    Hmmm, now I’m confused, because I removed the hoopla name/folder. Where is the code for my site? Hoopla isnt in my ftp or in my themes in my wordpress dashboard>>

    here is the line that shows up when I display your source code. 

    <link rel="stylesheet" id="twentytwelve-style-css" href="http://hooplahappiness.com/wp-content/themes/hoopla/style.css?ver=4.2.2" type="text/css" media="all">

    maybe it been cached.

    I would try clearing the cache and see if it takes care of it.

    Icleared the cache, but nothing changed. I did notice, when in my dashboard, this code from my functions.php appears on two lines at the top:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}

function theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'parent-style';

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style )
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
