# Child theme – enqueue css

 *  Resolved [ANo.1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ano1-1/)
 * (@ano1-1)
 * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-enqueue-css/)
 * I am trying to create a child theme and enqueue its style.css
    I followed this
   advise [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   and into child theme’s functions.php I pasted this
 *     ```
       <?php
           add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
           function theme_enqueue_styles() {
           wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
           wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array( 'parent-style' ) );
            }
       ```
   
 * Now it is working somehow, but not completely without problems. My question is
   following:
    There are more css files in the parent directory, There is the one
   called ‘style.css’, then there is a directory called ‘css’, containing file ‘
   layout.css’, and another directory ‘functions/css’ containing many different 
   files such as ‘colorpicker.css’ Do I need to enqueue more of them or should it
   be fine as I showed above?

 * What theme are you using? Can you post a link to your site?

 * Mystile theme
    My site is at the moment just for me to practice with wp, so probably
   not helpful. [http://wordpress.blanketsoftheworld.com/](http://wordpress.blanketsoftheworld.com/)

 * As you are using a commercial theme, I can’t say for sure whether all the appropriate
   stylesheets are being loaded by your child theme. You should ask your theme’s
   vendor for more information about that.
 * If I had to guess, though, based on a look at your site, it appears like everything
   is working correctly. What problems are you having?

 * Well it is a theme by woothemes, but a free one, so there is no support for it.
 * The first problem I notice is the product photos are displayed much bigger than
   they were on the original theme.
 * thank you

 * In your child theme’s stylesheet, try something like
 *     ```
       ul.products li.product img {
       max-width: 50%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Experiment with the percentage until you like the look.

 * Actually, now I found out that when I changed Theme Stylesheet from default.css
   to any other option, it works properly and there’s no need for the adjustment.

 * Hi ANo.1,
 * I’m having the same problems you were having. Larger images, my tabs are broken
   on the product description page, etc. I’m not understanding how you fixed it 
   though. You said, “when I changed Theme Stylesheet from default.css to any other
   option, it works properly”. I have a style.css in my child theme directory. Should
   I change the name of that file?
 * Thanks,
    Jennifer

 * Ohhh, you selected a new stylesheet in the Mystile WordPress Admin, I see. And
   now it’s working for me as well. That is so strange. I’m so happy I found you
   tip. This has been bugging me for a while, and you’re right, no support on this
   one from WooThemes :/ Thanks again!
