    Hi Kriesi,

    I’m a solid designer using your theme but I’m definitely not a coder by any means so forgive me.

    I have Enfold installed as the parent theme and have made an Enfold Child Theme. The folder has the functions.php file, a screenshot for the child theme and a style.css. I activated the Child theme before I began any styling.

    The Child Theme is active and I tried to begin to stylize the header tags and nothing is taking. The parent css still seems active. I’m not sure what I’m missing and I’m not sure what you need (I’m assuming a page link so I’m working on this as a draft page right now until I get it right as I’m not familiar enough to have a dev site set up before hand).

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hi Basilis,

    This is the code in the Child Theme CSS file:

    /*
    Theme Name: Enfold Child
    Theme URI: http://koskinencreative.com/enfold-child/
    Description: Koskinen Creative Child Theme
    Author: Kriesi
    Template: enfold
    Version: 1.0
    Text Domain: enfold-child
    */

    /*HEADER TAGS*/

    h1 {
    color: #3FA9F5;
    }

    As I’m looking through my FTP in the wp-content folder > uploads > dynamic_avia there is an enfold.css and an enfold_child.css. Not sure if those are meant to be there or if that’s what could be causing a conflict.

    Hi,

    Did you try your CSS in Quick CSS under Enfold–>General Styling and did it work there? Send us a temporary admin login so that we can have a closer look. You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.

    I have not since I’d rather keep all CSS within the child theme so when Enfold updates, I do not lose all of my customization.

    Hi,

    Any CSS you add to Quick CSS will not be overwritten on updates, could you try to see if it works?

    Regards,

    I just tried adding the following into the Quick CSS, saved it and it did nothing:

    h1 {
    color: #3ea9f5;
    }

    Hi,

    You might have to add the !important statement to it in order to override the current setting: 

    h1 {
color: #3ea9f5 !important;
}

    If you are looking to customise your headers I would recommend you use the Advanced Styling section under theme options instead though.

    Thanks,
    Rikard

    I tried that as well and it’s not working. I really need the child theme and need to figure out why that is not taking.

    Also I tried deactivating plugins to see if that could be a conflict and it’s not.

    I did notice in the FTP that in the “uploads” folder > dynamic_via > there is an enfold.css and an enfold_child.css (which to me, I’m not sure if that could be something or not). I’m not certain that is something that should be there or not.

    Hi,

    You had a dot before h1 which means it will be applied to the class h1 and I don’t think you have a class like that, I’ve changed the CSS and it’s working as expected:

    h1 {
color: #3ea9f5 !important;
}

    If you want to learn basic CSS I would recommend you start at W3Schools: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

    Thanks,
    Rikard

    That’s strange since I know the dot wasn’t to be there but I had previously tried it the way it should have been (which is as you wrote it) and it did not take for me. Is that in the child theme or the Quick CSS?

    So I see the code is in the quick CSS. I’m beginning to get very frustrated as I keep asking for assistance in helping the child theme function properly and I keep getting every other answer that I’m not looking for. I should be able to place that css into the child theme and have it function. Please assist me in getting that to work.

    Hey!

    You need to use the !important for your child theme as it gets loaded first and the theme CSS gets loaded after it.

    h1 {
color: #3ea9f5 !important;
}

    Your currently not using it.

    But besides that if the problem is just that your wanting to change the heading colors then you can do this in the Enfold settings > Advanced Styling tab.

    Best regards,
    Elliott
