 * hey all!
 * I would ask for some help in my website, using expound theme.
 * I Just created a child theme in order to make some customizing in css code, but
   something goes wrong from the first steps.
 *     ```
       /*
           Theme Name: Expound child theme
           Description: Expound Child Theme
           Author: Kyriakidis Andreas
           Author URI:
           Template: expound
           Version: 1.0.0
           Tags:
           Text Domain: expound-child
           */
   
           /*
           For older themes, and themes that do not use wp_enqueue_style() to enqueue their stylesheet, use the following line where twentyfourteen is the name of the directory where the theme resides:
   
           Make sure you uncomment out this import line below if you want to include the parent CSS and the wp_enqueue_style() is not working. If you do not then you will not have any styling in your child theme from the parent theme.
           */
   
           @import url("../expound/style.css");
   
           /* =Theme customization starts here
           -------------------------------------------------------------- */
           /*
   
           */
       ```
   
 * My homepage using expound theme looks like this:
    [default expound theme](http://exelixi-espa.gr/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/expound-theme.png)
 * But since I activate my child theme (using the simple code above), my home page
   looks like that:
    [child expound theme](http://exelixi-espa.gr/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/child-theme.png)
 * This is a screenshot of my custom menu, used in navigation:
    [custom menu used](http://exelixi-espa.gr/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/menus.png)
 * Obviusly something is wrong but I cannot figure out what is that. Any help will
   be appreciated!
 * The blog I need help with is exelixi-espa.gr.

 * can you explain what is wrong? What you’re trying to fix, specifically?
 *  I went to your site at [http://exelixi-espa.gr/](http://exelixi-espa.gr/) but
   not sure what I’m supposed to be looking at.

 * yes,
 * you may see the differences in the two screenshots (links provided in my original
   post) of the website using the default theme and the child one. The header does
   not display while there are some unwanted differences in the menu items.
 * You may also find in my first post the layout of the custom menu used.
    At the
   moment my site uses the expound default theme.
 * Thank you!

 * So, the child theme does not get automatically the settings of the parent, so
   I had to set the menus properly again. Now everything is ok.
 * Sorry for my noobiness 😉
