 * Could someone help me with enqueueing styles and scripts from my parent theme?
   There is quite a few js and css files, and I’m not sure the proper way to enqueue
   multiple files.

 * What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

 * I’m using the United Themes Brooklyn theme. My boss sent me a zip file of a clean
   version of it, but I’m currently working on a copy of the live site in a dev 
   subdomain.

 * If you use a commercial theme or plugin and need support, please go to their 
   official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community,
   and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people
   to those official locations.

 * Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would
   not know why your commercial theme or plugin is not working properly. This is
   one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors.
   The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

 * Sorry Stephen, I don’t think my question is completely related to just being 
   for Brooklyn. I’m just confused on how to correctly enqueue multiple CSS and 
   JS files from a parent theme. If that is actually specifically for United Themes
   then I’m sorry for wasting your time lol.

 * Have you reviewed the Codex page on [child themes](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)?
   Are you having a specific problem with anything on that page?
 * The problem is that without being able to see how your theme is coded, there’s
   no way to know exactly what might be going wrong. Your theme’s developers do 
   have the code and they should be willing to support you, because you’re their
   customer (and if they won’t, that’s not cool, IMO).

 * The problem is that I can’t access the UT forums. You can only create one account
   with the purchase code, and it says the one I have is used. I’m just an intern
   at my company and my boss has no memory of creating an account there, and I’ve
   tried emailing them but nobody has gotten back to me.
 * The brooklyn parent theme has about 15 CSS files and 20 JS files.. do I need 
   to enqueue all of them?

 * Are you having a specific problem creating a child theme or are you trying to
   find out if there will be any problems before you start? If you can use the Brooklyn
   theme as a stand-alone theme, there _probably_ shouldn’t be any problems creating
   a child theme.

 * I have a child theme that was previously developed by someone else who used [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   instead of the current best practice, so I was trying to change it. If I just
   add
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
       function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
           wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
   
       }
       ```
   
 * then half of my site doesn’t work. So I was wondering if I was doing it wrong,
   or if I needed to enqueue JS files as well.
    dev.shoredigitalsolutions.com is
   my site

 * I’m sorry, but without knowing your theme, there’s no way to know what might 
   be the issue. If neither you nor your boss can access your theme’s support forum,
   then you may need to hire someone to help instead. If you decide to go that route,
   please check out [http://jobs.wordpress.net/](http://jobs.wordpress.net/) and
   do not accept any offers that come from this forum.
