    Hi!

    I want to start working with a child theme, since I am using Quick CSS quite a lot. How do I do this without having to start over, I mean, I want to turn my site as it is now into the child theme.

    Regards

    Hi Poirot!

    Copy all of your custom CSS into the child theme style.css file. If some of it does not work then try using the !important override like so.

    a { color: red !important; font-size: 12px !important; }

    Cheers!

    Hi Elliott!

    Ok, thank you. What about the code in Quick CSS? Will it update when I update style.css? Or is the Quick CSS no longer necessary and can I delete it?

    Hi!

    Yes, you’re safe to clear Quick CSS once you move all of it to the child theme style and use that instead.

    Best regards,

    Hi Josue,

    Thank you for your help. The code in my child theme’s style.css doesn’t seem to have effect, even with “!important”. And when I delete my Quick CSS, my layout changes to default. Is this something I am doing wrong?

    Regards
