style.css and Additional CSS
-
I used to have a “style.css” under twentytwelve-child\ but today I discovered that the functions I have there didn’t work any more.
I opened Customising | Additional CSS and pasted my old contents into the edit window and saved and bingo it worked!
Was this correct? Can I now remove my old twentytwelve-child\style.css that didnt’ seem to have been updated (date)? Where is my new CSS residing?
Where is this described?

Thanks, Andrew. I reactivated and it also works.
But before I reactivated it I tested on a Chrome with all data removed. And it also worked.
Now my “Additional CSS” window is again empty.
Ok, so this is how it’s done? I do think I must have done this some time earlier – or is the reactivation something new? Why isn’t a child automatically reactivated? Or at least a query: “You have a child theme to Twenty Twelve, would you like to reactivate it?” I must admit I don’t like having to remember this.
I’m not sure why your Child Theme was deactivated, but it could have been when WordPress itself updated. When WordPress updates, all of the code in the default themes (Twenty Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, etc.) are overwritten and so it is possible that this action caused your Child Theme to become inactive.
If your Child Theme keeps becoming inactive and causes you a maintenance problem, or is just annoying you then I recommend using the “Additional CSS” section. Both do the same thing.
