nevermind I had the wrong format. changed the request url to /wordpress and it worked.

I installed, acitvated, and setup postman STMP. I successfully sent a test email from the same plugin. I still don’t recieve emails from the contact form.

*bump*

Thanks for the help, it looks fine now. However, I can’t seem to change the color of a button. I added this rule to my child theme’s style.css:

.red-btn{
  background-color:#ffaf0f;
}

But it doesn’t show up. In the chrome dev console I can see the rule but it its crossed out like it is being overridden. I’m probably doing something stupid but I can’t figure it out.

It might be something wrong in the child’s functions.php file, which I copied directly from the tutorial:

<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_enqueue_styles',99);
function child_enqueue_styles() {
    $parent_style = 'parent-style';
    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}
if ( get_stylesheet() !== get_template() ) {
    add_filter( 'pre_update_option_theme_mods_' . get_stylesheet(), function ( $value, $old_value ) {
         update_option( 'theme_mods_' . get_template(), $value );
         return $old_value; // prevent update to child theme mods
    }, 10, 2 );
    add_filter( 'pre_option_theme_mods_' . get_stylesheet(), function ( $default ) {
        return get_option( 'theme_mods_' . get_template(), $default );
    } );
}
?>

But the tutorial also mentioned to edit it, which I don’t know how to do.

I investigated the problem a little more, and found some interesting errors in the Google Chrome developer console. I get one error that looks like this:

http://localhost/wordpress/ Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

And 8 errors that all looks like this:

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/js/skip-link-focus-fix.js?ver=20160412 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

All 8 of these errors have the same error code and description, but different links that all start with this:

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/

Hopefully this helps because I still have no idea how to fix this!

Where did you get that advice from?
