 * functions.php
    =============
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package Scrawl Child Theme
        */
       /**
        * Load the parent and child theme styles
        */
       function scrawl_parent_theme_style() {
       	// Parent theme styles
       	wp_enqueue_style( 'scrawl-style', get_template_directory_uri(). '/style.css' );
       	// Child theme styles
       	wp_enqueue_style( 'scrawl-child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri(). '/style.css' );
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'scrawl_parent_theme_style' );
       ```
   
 * style.css
    =========
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Scrawl Child 
       Version: 1.0
       Text Domain: scrawl-child
       Template: scrawl
       */
       ```
   
 * I cannot get a child theme of scrawl to work correctly. I created a child theme
   with 2 files, functions.php and style.css. The contents of those files is listed
   above.
 * Whenever I activate the scrawl child theme, the info put into the url for the
   parent style sheet is always set to ‘scrawl-child/style.css’ rather than ‘scrawl/
   style.css’. I use the same code in a child theme for the ‘atomic-blocks’ theme,
   it is just not setting the path correctly in the generated code. This is the 
   code generated:
 *     ```
       <link rel='stylesheet' id='scrawl-style-css' href='http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/scrawl-child/style.css?ver=5.4.1' type='text/css' media='all' />
       ```
   
 * Where does that ‘-child’ come from?? How do I create and use a child theme for
   scrawl?
 * scrawl and atomic-blocks themes are both available on wordpress.org.
 * Al
 * I am on a local test system, wordpress 5.4, gutenberg 8.2.1, the child theme 
   does not work on a hosted wordpreess either.

 * did find a solution to generating a usable child theme, I used the Child Theme
   Configurator plugin, and that seems to work fine.

 * Stylesheet paths are filterable, so the erroneous path could come from anywhere.
   How does the Scrawl theme enqueue its style.css? If it’s using get_stylesheet_directory_uri()
   you may need to dequeue it. Since child themes load first, dequeue code needs
   to be called from a later action hook. In any case, be sure you are using the
   correct style handle from the parent.
 * You need to specify the parent style as a dependency of your child style to ensure
   the child styles take precedence over parent. Refer to the examples here:
