 * I must have made a change that broke something, but I cannot for the life of 
   me figure out what it was. But now there are a quite a few styles that were loading
   and modifying my site in my child theme’s style.css that are not loading any 
   more. The most obvious example is the read more links. My child style has a tag
 *     ```
       .more-link {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * but the more links are being controlled by the edin style sheet (per the inspector).
   I can’t determine what would be causing the child style to not apply here, or
   in some of the other cases where this is occurring. Perhaps just solving this
   more link issue will resolve others that are occurring, or at least show me how.

 * you have (at least) one error in **style.css** of the child theme;
 * for example, the closing `}` is missing in this section:
 *     ```
       .primary-navigation .dropdown-toggle {
       	color: #fff;
   
       .secondary-navigation + .primary-navigation {
       	border: 0px;
       }
       ```
   
 * this stops all lower styles to get applied.
 * it is not recommended to copy the full CSS from the parent theme into style.css
   of the child theme. this makes it quite difficult to trace errors and changes.
