Importing parent theme stylesheet to child theme

    Hi everyone, I’m creating a child theme for the theme I’m currently using (Hueman)
    I want to import the parent theme stylesheet. I read there are two ways to do that:

    • Via the @import method
    • Via the wp_enqueue_style() function

    I heard the second method is better than the first (is it true?), so I created a file called functions.php in my child theme folder and added the following code:

    <?php

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

    The problem is that it’s not working. Can you tell me how to fix this? If not can I use the @method import or is it unpreferable?

    Thanks in advance

    You forget to add the child theme style.css.

    <?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' );
?>
