Within the Theme Editor | Vlogger Child theme, you have access to the CSS stylesheet. Editing this stylesheet doesn’t seem to produce any results. I understand it’s optional and that WordPress encourages users to edit using the “Built In CSS editor” however I would assume you can still edit the child theme. It’s not working.

I am a WordPress developer and so I’m assuming there’s a setting that isn’t properly in place allowing for the child theme CSS to override the parent. Unless this is on purpose. I don’t know.

Hello estevancarlos,
usually we suggest editing the code (for the main theme as well the child theme) through the Customizer. You can find it in Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS.
We always suggest to our customers using it for small code editing.

Said so, I’m going to investigate with our developers and I will get back to you as soon as possible with an appropriate answer.

Thanks for your feedback.
Andrea

I plan on doing some extensive editing so I’d like to be able to edit the child theme.

Very good then is a good choice.
Anyway, the child theme should load its style.css correctly, as visible from the line 14 of the functions.php of tehe child theme’s folder.

As troubleshooting procedure, I’d like to remember that if you have any sort of caching or cdn enabled, your changes may not be visible.

If you are sure you have no cache, we would like to see the URL of your site to udnerstand what may be happening.
Can you please link it?

Thanks for the help. Here is a link. I’ll research if it’s a cache issue – http://wvfrm.com/staging-dev/

Thanks.
It seems indeed your site is not using the child theme.
When using it, as you can see from the screenshot from our test version, you should load vlogger-child/stye.css in the header

So please be very sure youactived the child theme, and in case try to reinstall it via ftp.

Wow. That’s so strange. I did activate the child theme. Might it be possible it was deactivated once a demo was imported? I feel like that happened. Thanks for pointing that out.

Importing demo contents should not affect the child theme.
Said so, I’m glad you fixed the issue 🙂
I’m going to close this topic, so if you have any other questions feel free to open another topic.

All the best
