Title: Child Theme problems Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Child Theme problems * Resolved [xan3ver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xan3ver/) * (@xan3ver) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/) * I have a child theme activated. I was trying a couple of different things, because it did not seem as though my child theme was working correctly. I have now changed something that has made a few of the styling that I have added, to not work.eg: * My main menu is not centered anymore, this is what I have in my stylesheet: * > *Centre main menu > */ .main-navigation ul.nav-menu, .main-navigation div.nav- > menu > ul { text-align: center; } * My header image and a few of the images in my sidebar has a border again: * > /*Remove border around header image > */ .entry-content img, .comment-content > img, .widget img, img.header-image, .author-avatar img, img.wp-post-image { > border-radius: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; } * The padding below the main nav bar has increased again: * > /*Remove padding under menu > */ > .site-header { > padding-bottom: 0; } * Proudly powered by wordpress is visible again: * > /*Hide ‘proudly powered by wordpress > */ a[title=’Semantic Personal Publishing > Platform’] { display: none; } * And quite a couple of other things…. I think that I have set my child theme up wrong. Please help! This is how my the code at the top of my child style.css: * > /* > Theme Name: twentytwelvechild Author: the WordPress team Author URI: [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/) > Template: twentytwelve Version: 1.7 License: GNU General Public License v2 > or later License URI: [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html) > Tags: light, gray, white, one-column, two-columns, right-sidebar, fluid-layout, > responsive-layout, custom-background, custom-header, custom-menu, editor-style, > featured-images, flexible-header, full-width-template, microformats, post-formats, > rtl-language-support, sticky-post, theme-options, translation-ready Text Domain: > twentytwelve */ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 35 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [xan3ver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xan3ver/) * (@xan3ver) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/#post-6357622) * and website: hooplahappiness.com * [mrtom414](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrtom414/) * (@mrtom414) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/#post-6357627) * did you enqueue the parent style in functions.php in your child theme ? * ``` function theme_enqueue_styles() { $parent_style = 'parent-style'; wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() .

I had all the above (and more) working on my site, then I changed something in my functions and/or child style that made it not work. Nothing that I have in my child style works anymore (and it did work previously!) * [mrtom414](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrtom414/) * (@mrtom414) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/#post-6357659) * I’m confused in your the code you submitted your child theme is name twentytwelvechild. But, When I look at your code for your site it says the child theme name is hoopla which is a child of twentytwelve. * These appear to be 2 different themes altogether. * Thread Starter [xan3ver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xan3ver/) * (@xan3ver) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-problems-11/#post-6357662) * Hmmm, now I’m confused, because I removed the hoopla name/folder. Where is the code for my site?
