Am unable to comment and ask qns, so done as answer. Point 3 below does identify an error; the rest I expect you’ve covered. I’ve also added my own working enqueuer (but I only needed style.css)
-
ensure the value specified for “Template:” at the top of your CSS matches the value for “Theme:” in parent’s CSS
-
View HTML source of page from your browser. What styles if any are listed in “html under <head>? This info may help with answers.
-
WP Codex says the first argument/parameter of wp_enqueue_style must be a unique “handle” (name); but in your last example you use ‘parent-style’ as the handle for every style sheet.
-
check parent’s functions.php and see exactly what is being “enqueued”.
-
if its any help, this is code that works for me from my Hemingway child functions.php (I only need style.css). Note I am not using a string ‘parent_style’ but variable $parent_style which has been assigned a value. The WP Codex link above explains other settings used.
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() { $parent_style="hemingway_style"; 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') ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' ); -
In answer to your question by enqueuing child CSS last you ensures that where Child and Parent CSS rules conflict then the CSS rules will be used by the browser.
