I have an on-going problem trying to get additional css to work once added the child style sheet.
I get the child theme set up just fine when I start a new site, and then as I am working on the new site I add the css to the ‘additional CSS’ temporarily. Then when I want to clear it from there, I add it carefully to my child style.css
BUT then I go to delete each style from the additional css…. usually one by one to ensure that the css is grabbed from the child style sheet, but …. it actually doesn’t… the style disappears from the front end.
I usually set up my child theme header as so:
(This one doesn’t work)
/**
Theme Name: Lucida Pro Child
Theme URI: https://northvalleywaste.ca/wp-content/themes/lucida-pro-child

/* =Child Theme Custom CSS
_______________
and then I add all the css below it.
The style sheet above is not working, but this one below (for another theme) does and I have been able to successfully clear the Additional CSS for this one.
(This One Works)
/**

I just can’t figure out why the style sheet is so fickle. All the syntax is correct as far as I can see… nothing missing.
So, I ultimately have to leave the css in the Additional CSS and I’d rather not in case the site goes down or I update the theme.
Is there a way you can check this style sheet for me??? What is wrong with it??
