Still weak on the subject, but realized that I cannot enter into the child a partial command. See if below is more on track. I tested and it does work at the 950px width. Also I learned that using percentage syntax is (max-width: 100%) not max-width: 100%px) * /* Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme URI: [http://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfourteen](http://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfourteen) Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme Author: WPMU Author URI: [http://wpmu.com](http://wpmu.com) Template: twentyfourteen Version: 1.0.0 */ [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../twentyfourteen/style.css”); /* =Theme customization starts here ————————————————————–*/ body { border: 10px solid red !important; } .site-content .entry-header, .site- content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta,. page-content { margin: 0 auto; max-width: 950px; } * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to process a change in a theme-child](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-process-a-change-in-a-theme-child/) * Thread Starter [netadminoh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netadminoh/) * (@netadminoh) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-process-a-change-in-a-theme-child/#post-5025718) * esmi – I’m a quick learner so first i need to study classes and ids to dialog with you correctly.

Since the process of child entries is a copy from original and paste to child or add other code, I copied the complete style.css original and pasted to the child.

However, when I leave the “Original” style.css at the default max-width: 474 and change the child max-width: 100%px, the text does not change and remains at the 474.
