I've created a child theme of the Renovation theme. In the child's theme folder I have a "style.css" and a "functions.php" file. My style.css looks like this:
/*
Theme Name: Renovation Child
Theme URI: http://renovation.thememove.com/
Author: ThemeMove
Author URI: http://thememove.com/
Version: 2.0.4
Template: tm-renovation
*/
/*
* @charset "UTF-8";
*/
.vc_custom_1438936121266 {
margin-bottom: 70px!important;
padding-top: 65px!important;
padding-bottom: 35px!important;
}
My functions.php looks like this:
<?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit;
// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
if ( !function_exists( 'renovation_enqueue_scripts' ) ):
function renovation_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'renovation-child-style', trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory_uri() ) . 'style.css' );
}
endif;
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'renovation_enqueue_scripts' );
// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
Unsing the inspector I see that the parent css is being loaded first and it looks like this:
.vc_custom_1438936121266 {
margin-bottom: 70px!important;
padding-top: 30px!important;
padding-bottom: 35px!important;
}
My CSS is being loaded after the parent CSS and it looks like this, except it's all crossed out:
.vc_custom_1438936121266 {
margin-bottom: 70px!important;
padding-top: 65px!important; <-- MY CHANGE
padding-bottom: 35px!important;
}
I've read alot of threads about specificity, and I noticed that my css and the parent css are identical, except for the "padding-top" change I made. Since the child is loaded last, I expected my css to take precedence, but it's not. My css is crossed out in the inspector and the parent is being used.
This doesn't seem right to me, and I was hoping that someone could clarify my understanding of the parent/child relationship and help me fix this problem. Thank you.
