Serious issues here, the file is not being enqueued, I’ve done a clean install and still no joy. I’ve been in WP dev for 7 yrs now and this is a first without any solution and taken a day out of my life. Disabled all plugins, changed the enqueue code but nothing makes this CSS file load on the front-end, nothing! New child theme folder generated / new demo install / required core and plugins loaded… WTF?!!!

// enqueue styles for child theme
function example_enqueue_styles() {

// enqueue parent styles
wp_enqueue_style(‘parent-theme’, get_template_directory_uri() .’/style.css’);

}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘example_enqueue_styles’);

Please, contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

If you need XStore child theme you can download it here https://www.8theme.com/downloads
Download it and check the code in the functions.php file to call parent theme styles correctly.

I have this DEFAULT code in the child theme’s functions.php file yet the file is not being loaded on the front-end, in spite of the child theme loaded in rthe WP back-end (Appearance) without any fault. Theme states child theme V.1 in the config options.

Hello,

That’s strange. Do you have any server cache or CDN?
Could you, please, provide us with FTP access to your site to check the issue in more detail?

Hello,

You used the file generator http://prntscr.com/uq2k87 that combined all the styles to 1 file. It was the reason that you did not see the child theme styles as a separate file.
Check now.

OK now that fixed it, sorry this is a pile of poo. This shouldn’t happen. I’ve lost endless time and frustration to this. Why with combine do the custom styles not get applied?! This is an issue you should admit requires fixing.

Hello,

Issue with file generation will be fixed in next theme update. So, just don’t generate the file till the next update. Remove the generated file if you have already generated this.
