This line is not quite right:
@import url("../fanwood/style.css");
After changing that switch to another theme and then back to the child.
/*
Theme Name: Fanwood Child
Theme URI: http://drjohnkiel.com/wp
Description: Child theme for the fanwood theme
Author: John Kiel & Josh Beers
Author URI: http://drjohnkiel.com/wp
Template: fanwood
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(“../fanwood/style.css”);
————–
The above is what it says now. I imported this back in, then imported a totally different them, and switched back to fanwood-child. Same issue.
This line is still wrong:
@import url("/fanwood/style.css");
Try changing it in the Appearance > Editor – switch themes and switch back.

Is your Child Theme activated at the moment? If so, can you link us your website?
http://drjohnkiel.com/wp/
yes, thanks again guys I suck at this.
That line is not getting changed – do you have caching on your site? Are you saving the changes and switching to another theme and then back?
I’m assuming this is your site: http://drjohnkiel.com/wp/

You still have this line in:
@import url("/fanwood/style.css");
I just copied and pasted this from appearance -> editor -> fanwood child
@import url(“/fanwood/style.css”);
Is that incorrect? Andrew your post makes it sound wrong, but wpyogi made it sound correct earlier. As for cacheing, it’s whatever the default is because I’ve never changed it. And yes, saving, switching and switching back.

You are missing the two “dots” – look more carefully.
I had them before and it didnt seem to make a difference. I have since re-added them.
I also switched to a different theme and back. Didn’t fix it. This is the updated page (no changes) with the ‘two dots’ back in.

It’s working! Yay! Clear your browser cache.
You guys are gods among men. Thanks so much. I’m sure I’ll be back with more pull-my-hair out coding issues later =)
Actually, I think you can save me a bunch of time. I just want to remove the “recent comments” and “meta” sections from the bottom of the page. This is the whole purpose of the child theme.
Can you advise me how to do this as simply as possible? <3
