enfold_child.css in wp-content/uploads?

we are struggling with using enfold in our development cycle.
usually we a have a dev server and a staging server which sync via rsync for all files related stuff and via https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/ for everything db. this usually works with well written themes.
with enfold (which is superbly written, don’t get me wrong!) we learned, that some kind of css stub is put into wp-content/uploads/enfold_child.css (we are using the child theme). we started rsyncing this file as well, but it seems to appear/disappear in mysterious ways so that the target website isn’t finding it.
can someone from the support team explain what happens and maybe has an idea how to mitigate this?

Hi,

It took me days to find this out (as descriped), but I need to count on my own style.css located in the enfold-child directory.(so without saving the ‘general styling’ in the backend) over and over again after a small adjustment in the css.

Is there an url which regenerates the CSS so that we can call this after our rollout to staging? right now, we need to manually change “something” which is not very practical.

I agree, this is far from practical in the proces of custom styling a site.

Is there a way to make the style.css from the child theme, the “leading one” (what it always is in other themes) ?
The theme itself is amazing and outstanding (my compliments!).

But child themes are being used to override all other css styles (if the style is set in the child’s css file) as being last loaded file.
And it can’t be overwriten by for example, theme updates.

My technical English is not bulletproof but I hope you can understand the importance of the (creative styling) proces.
It doesn’t help. So I would be gratefull if you provide a solution for this urgent matter.

I apreciate the effort, my regards,
Jeroen

Hi Victoria,

Thank you for your quick reply.
I appreciate the answer, aldo it was not exactly what I’ve meant.
Therefore I started a new topic a few days ago, maybe you can read the exact ‘problem’ and solution I (and many users) would really be gratefull for.
Here is my topic.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Victoria,
That’s exactly what i’m looking for! But if you look at the sourcecode at http://www.real2drive.nl you see my child’s style.css isn’t loading at all.
Please help me out because i’m running out of time….
I highly appreciate the effort, I paste my style.css and functions.php under this line. Thanks for your input!
