You have to set a new background or the one defined in the parent stylesheet will be applied. background-image: none; Image and color are not mutually exclusive, so both just deleting the background-image line or/and defining a background-color won’t change a background image defined somewhere else.
There is no reason to add something not listed in WP_Theme class $file_headers array because it simply will not be recognized. private static $file_headers = array( ‘Name’ => ‘Theme Name’, ‘ThemeURI’ => ‘Theme URI’, ‘Description’ => ‘Description’, ‘Author’ => ‘Author’, ‘AuthorURI’ => ‘Author URI’, ‘Version’ => ‘Version’, ‘Template’ => ‘Template’, ‘Status’ => ‘Status’, ‘Tags’ => … Read more
There are two methods to accomplish what you what need to do. METHOD 1 The first method is to create a separate stylesheet from your child’s main style.css, and then move all your css into that stylesheets. For this example, lets call this stylesheet custom-style.css. As said, copy all the css that will be specific … Read more
Method 2 You can enqueue all of your stylesheets form the same place even controlling where the stylesheets load by means of template conditionals, which is convenient and prevents a lot of mess in your <head>. You can remove enqueued stylesheets if you need to via a plugin, for example. Enqueued stylesheets are child theme … Read more
I’m going to start by saying something similar to Horttcore.. Is there a reason you can’t simply provide a differing container element for the given menu, it should provide enough specificity to style it uniquely. Although, you could do something like this to conditionalise menu args based on the menu’s location.. function my_wp_nav_menu_args( $args=”” ) … Read more
The $hook_suffix global (copy of which you are getting passed to the hook) doesn’t go into such detail. However there is plenty more of context to check. In modern WP versions bulk of it is via get_current_screen() which returns WP_Screen object with plenty of stuff (in this case you would want to check id and … Read more
If your theme uses wp post class function post_classes($classes) { global $post; $customMetaVariable = get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘customMetaName’, true ); if($customMetaVariable == ‘desiredCustomMetaValue’){ $classes[] = ‘cssClassName’; return $classes; } } add_filter(‘post_class’, ‘post_classes’); then in your style.css you could use: .cssClassName{ background-color: red; } hence applying that class to all of the posts that contain your desired … Read more
You can enqueue your own stylesheet by adding this to your child theme’s functions.php file: function wpa_custom_css(){ wp_enqueue_style( ‘wpa_custom’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/responsive.css’ ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wpa_custom_css’, 999 ); This will load the file responsive.css located in your child theme directory. The priority is set very low (999) so it is more likely to appear … Read more
I don’t know if you try to add a css file in your theme or plugin. I will provide both examples. Use wp_enqueue_style in combination with get_theme_file_uri to enqueu a stylesheet in your theme directory. For a theme, see example function add_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘fontawesome-style’, get_theme_file_uri( ‘/assets/css/all.css’ ), array(), null ); } add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘add_styles’ … Read more
Congrats on starting your first WordPress child theme. I’d recommend scraping what you have (because we don’t know exactly what’s wrong) and starting with the simplest child theme you can. Then add stuff until something breaks or you finish the child theme. To get started on a very basic child theme, create a new sub-directory … Read more
