 * Hi I am trying to create a child theme for Quest but my Child style.css does 
   not seem to be used at all. Not only have a I tried modifying some of the existing
   css classes but also I’ve created a new <div> with an original class and nothing
   happens.
 * Is this just the way it is with Quest? Or is there something I need to add to
   my functions.php? Or should I just call in the voodoo lady down the street?
 * Thanks

 * Hi
 * You could try calling the voodoo lady but i think there is an easy solution:)
   You have to create a functions.php file in the child theme folder and add the
   below code in it
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'quest_child_enqueue_styles' );
   
       function quest_child_enqueue_styles() {
   
       wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
   
       }
       ```

 * Thanks.
 * I do have a functions.php
 * I was doing it this way
 *     ```
       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 changed it to do it your way but that didn’t seem to make any difference.

   not loading at all ? can you provide me the site URL

 * Styles are not being applied.
 * Currently you can notice that there is a class “test” being applied to the <div
   > that contains the words “See a Sample PGx Report.”
 * This is in my styles.css
 *     ```
       .test {
       	color: #ff0000;
       	font-size: 100px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks for your time, man.

 * Issue is because of file permissions, if you try to access the child theme style.
   css file you get a 403 error, my bet is because of file permissions, it might
   also be some other reason, but definetly not theme related
