Hi Steven,

Thanks for the suggestion.

So I just installed Health Check, put it in Troubleshooting mode, and the link still takes me to a feed (the feed is just invalid now because Powerpress is disabled).

So, I have figured out why this won’t work. Can anyone suggest another way for me to have two sites using the same basic child theme?

Thanks James. Yes, it continued but then I deacivated Jetpack too and when I reactivated it I had to set it back up.That seemed to fix teh problem.

I’m still having trouble with this please help.

For anyone else wondering go to wordpress.com and ask them there. Here:

For anyone else who is having this issue, the answer is that you must change your theme and then change back. Then you will see the changes take effect.

I am making a child theme from Hemingway. What I was pointing out above is that my style.css is not being ‘obeyed.’ In other words, although I changed the style.css to say that the template was twentynineteen, and although Chrome was showing in the developer tools that it was receiving the correct style.css, Chrome was also showing in the developer tools that it was continuing to use Hemingway as the template.

Additionally, if I go an change my active theme to something else and then change it back to my child theme, then the change seems to take effect.

The only way this makes sense is if wordpress stores the template information in the database somewhere rather than reading it from my child theme style.css every time.

This is what I have in my child theme style.css

/*
 Theme Name:   Hemingway-kid
 Template:     twentynineteen
 Version:      1.0.0
 License:      GNU General Public License v2 or later
 License URI:  http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html

*/

And this is what I have in my child theme functions.php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
 
    $parent_style = 'parent-style'; 
 
    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')
    );
}

If you run the Chrome inspector on the site, you see that the style.css shows exactly what I pasted above. It declares the Template to be twentynineteen (once again for troubleshooting purposes, this is a child of Hemingway). But also in the inspector you see that Hemingway is loaded, not Twenty-Nineteen.

This is what I can’t figure out.
