install child theme with an existing site

Hi, Basilis,

after installing Child Enfold not only the colour of the link is changes, but also the font is changed, the size of letters is wrong, The footer is now white instead of black.
But all the colours in the menue, layout / addintional layout settings are correct.

So the “real” is not like what is shown to be real.

Also besides Facebook no ther Social Media buttons are shown in the footer.

Thanks for help!

Hi, Vinay,

that is what I did in the beginning and that worked fine for most of the settings.

But now I found the problem. In the short CSS list we put a code to define the colour of text, that is coded as .

Hi there,

I have read this thread and i would like to ask to update the information. As we can read here:

The import of settings from parent theme isn’t the best way for now.

So i have tried to activate child theme and instead if importing settings i added following code to the functions.php of child theme:

<?php
  
/*
* Add your own functions here. You can also copy some of the theme functions into this file. 
* WordPress will use those functions instead of the original functions then.
*/
  
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
 
    $parent_style = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
 
    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}  

But nothing changed (the sites looks way different than my original site in parent theme).

Could you clarify why it isn’t work?
