    I originally created a site using the enfold construction theme. I made changes to the pages (text/images) and I made changes in the Enfold theme and under Appearance/Menu section. I then read how we should use child themes and downloaded the pre-built child theme. I then activated the child demo and went to the Import/Export section and imported the main parent theme settings.

    After that, not all of the original styles from the construction theme demo are there (it looks like it is still taking the styles from the enfold default demo and not the enfold construction demo). I have included a link to my site as well as a link to the construction demo site so you can see what I am talking about. For example these are some of the missing things now in my site with the child demo after I imported the parent theme….

    ◾ in the footer, the lines above and below the headings in each of the four columns are not shown
    ◾the font size is smaller in my site
    ◾the font text is different
    ◾if you go to a page under the Services tab and the sidebar on that page has lines above the headings in each section in the demo site but no longer has it in my site (see Interior Design page for example)
    ◾the menu bar color is not the same (I had made some changes to this in the child theme before I did the Import parent theme option to try and match the construction demo and it looks like it maybe kept my background color choice instead of bringing over the parent them options)

    How do I get the Construction theme look/feel back? This is what was in the style.css of the pre-built file, do I need to change something here to make the parent theme the Enfold construction one?
    /*
    Theme Name: Enfold Child
    Description: A Child Theme for the Enfold WordPress Theme. If you plan to do a lot of file modifications we recommend to use this Theme instead of the original Theme. Updating wil be much easier then.

    How do I make it take the enfold Construction demo theme as the parent theme and not the enfold Default demo theme?

    Hi g10h4y90g4y7h8g17,

    Could you try toggling one of your settings and save again to see if that works? If not then please try to clear your browser cache and reload a few times. If none of those work then please post admin login details in private so that we can have a closer look.

    Regards,
    Rikard

    I tried all of that the first day. I even tried in multiple browsers……I tried again tonight and now it works. Does it just take a couple of days to update or should it be instant?

    Hi!

    That could be caching related if you are using a cache plugin. Glad it is working fine now!
