Use a child theme, and enqueue the stylesheets you need through the child theme’s functions.php file.
It’s possible a theme or plugin is already loading FontAwesome, so check for that first. It’s pretty common.
@kjodle Thanks for your help!
I followed this tutorial:
https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/#what-are-child-themes-and-why-use-them
As functions.php is likely not well configured, placing css code in style.css does nothing, so i currently got the extra css again in “Additional CSS” and the same error appears of course.
With functions.php properly configured it should be pulling the css from style.css in onetone_child theme folder right?
I am totally new to php. This is the code i have if you are able to point me to the right direction:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );
function enqueue_parent_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}
That tutorial is incorrect, because it fails to enqueue the child theme stylesheets as well. You need to enqueue both the parent and child stylesheets.
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
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 ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
That example, which enqueues both the parent and child theme stylesheets is from the Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme
@kjodle Will analyse and report back!
Thanks!
