Not importing css

    My style.css file has an @import “css/master.css”; directive to import from elsewhere in the theme directory.

    It’s always worked fine until recently, when sometimes it doesn’t load the css – whereupon the source shows <style>@import url(path removed) ;</style> rather than <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”path removed”/>. I notice that the former is a local path (and incorrectly minus the leading slash to denote the root) whereas the latter is the full http url.

    header.php has the usual <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” />.

    Your themes should be in folders in your Themes folder in wp-content. So if you have two themes, say Parent and Child, they would both be in folders in /wp-content/themes/ subdirectory, such as /wp-content/themes/ParentTheme and /wp-content/themes/ChildTheme. The two themes are in a sister relationship, but in WordPress, the concept of a child theme is one that pulls style information in from the parent theme using an import statement. The openeing information of your child theme should look like this example:

    /*
Theme Name: ChildTheme
Template: ParentTheme
Description: Child theme
Author: Me
Author URI: http://wow.mythemes.wow
*/

@import url("../ParentTheme/style.css");

    Be sure that your syntax of the @import URL is correct. In this case, the Template the child theme is looking for is the name of the folder where the style.css is located for the Parent theme.
