Twenty Twenty child theme doesn’t work

(@lup0z)

Hi,
I’m having some troubles creating a child theme based on Twenty Twenty theme.
After creating twentytwenty-child folder in “theme”, setting up function.php and style.css in it and setting the child theme on the backend, I can’t get it working.

These are my style.css and function.php in my “twentytwenty-child” folder:

style.css

/*
 Theme Name:   Twenty Twenty Child
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/twenty-fifteen-child/
 Description:  Twenty Twenty Child Theme
 Author:       lup0z
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     twentytwenty
 Version:      1.0.0
 License:      GNU General Public License v2 or later
 License URI:  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  twentytwentychild
*/

function.php

<?php

	add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
	function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
	    $parenthandle = 'twentytwenty-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
	    $theme = wp_get_theme();
	    wp_enqueue_style( $parenthandle, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', 
	        array(),  // if the parent theme code has a dependency, copy it to here
	        $theme->parent()->get('Version')
	    );
	    wp_enqueue_style( 'twentytwentychild-style', get_stylesheet_uri(),
	        array( $parenthandle ),
	        $theme->get('Version') // this only works if you have Version in the style header
	    );
	}
	
?>

I’ve spent a lot of time searching for a solution in various websites, but I can’t make it work.

Thank you for your reply

Hello,
the following for your functions.php file should work (this is how I have it)
```
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
 
    $parent_style = 'twentytwenty-style'; // Make sure here it's the parent 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' );
```

Dear Laly,
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for this code.
I have spent a few hours using code for wp_enqueue_style function from two different sources and neither worked.
Your code sorted me out and now my site works with child theme activated.
Thank you again :)))

Awesome!
Thank you for taking the time to say thanks
I’ll see if I can close this topic, ok?
(If I can’t, please do so, so it’s marked as solved 😉)
Happy blogging!
