Hi @noemiedu76,
You can use these classes for the header and footer links:
#nv-primary-navigation-main li a
ul#footer-menu li a
We don’t have what to improve on child themes, because there are themes defined by the users with their customization options. The cache problem doesn’t depend on the theme, you can try to use a cache plugin to try to avoid that. I just tried to create a child theme on my end and the changes were visible on the first refresh.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for your rapid answer,
I’ve tried the selectors you give, but nothing change. Thank you anyway to give an idea.
I’m working in two website in the same time, one is the one you’ve seen, with Neve theme, the other one is with Astra theme.
To make a child theme, I use exactly the code you give in your website, as the customs codes I use normally were not working. So I take exactly the one you give in your zip file.
What surprises me is that when I make changes in the Astra child theme style.css, the changes take effect immediatly, which is not the case with the changes on the Neve child theme. I use the same computer for both, and they are hosted exactly in the same host.
I really appreciate your theme, and all the documentation you provide, and I do realize you’re working hard. But the truth in my side is : I loose more time with your theme trying to fix problems than with others. We are a class of students, and I’m not the only one to think like that. When come the time to build a website for our examination, we all say that we’re not going to take Neve theme because we don’t have time to fix neve child issues.
Oh, and I’ve just tried something :
– If I make the changes on style.css directly on the file, via FileZilla, it’s working straight away and I can see the changes immediatly
– If I make the changes on the theme editor includes in the WordPress back-office, it’s not working.
Hi @noemiedu76,
You have mentioned that CSS provided by Betty is added but doesn’t work – could you please provide the exact code as you added to the stylesheet? (copy/paste it here).
Also, you are always able to add custom CSS to Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS section. These changes will not get lost during the updates.
The exact code I used is the one she gave me in the message above.
I’m actually student, and for a reason I do not know, my teacher told us that using the “Additional CSS section” isn’t a good practice.
Hi @noemiedu76,
Using additional CSS section in the theme is not a bad practice because this section doesn’t get overwritten with the updates of the theme. You are using a child theme for the same reason – so updates that you make in files are not get overwritten when the parent theme updates.
Of course, if you are learning to code it makes more sense to write changes into .css file for learning purposes as if you are creating a website from scratch you won’t place everything there but for small CSS changes that section is totally fine.
All right, thank you to take the time to answer me.
I guess yes, this is because we’re learning to code.
I’m gonna put this thread as resolved as I don’t think there will be more to say.
Thanks
