 * Tom:
 * I upgraded WordPress and Generate Press in a test area.
    I am using a Generate
   Press Child Theme.
 * The test area positions the drop down menu in the top navigation area higher 
   than the older version of Generate Press, and it is a little harder to read.
 * Here is the live site:
 *  [http://www.sustainablemontereycounty.org/](http://www.sustainablemontereycounty.org/)
 * and here is the test site:
 *  [http://www.sustainablemontereycounty.org/test/](http://www.sustainablemontereycounty.org/test/)
 * If you mouse over a top navigation item that has a down arrow, you will see what
   I mean.
 * Is there something I need to do?
    I would prefer that the theme behaves the way
   it used to.
 * Thank you.
 * :Susan

 * Hi Susan,
 * It looks like you have this line in your child theme:
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../generatepress/
   style.css”);
 * This is loading the stylesheet a second time, causing some old CSS to be read
   instead of the correct custom CSS.
 * If you remove that line from your child theme, you should be good to go 🙂

 * Tom, thank you for that. Removing that line from the child theme css corrects
   the drop down positioning problem.
 * However, WordPress says that that line of code should be the first line of code
   in a child theme css file.

 * Using [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) is an old way of
   creating child themes that actually isn’t very efficient.
 * GP does this step for you in a more efficient way that doesn’t hurt performance
   🙂

 * Oh, good!
    How does GP do that?

 * Detects if you’re using a child theme and includes the parent theme style.css
   if that’s the case 🙂

 * I was using something like this:
 *     ```
       function theme_enqueue_styles() {
           wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
           wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
           array('parent-style'));
       }
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles', 30);
       ```
   
 * And I was getting the same problem. I have been using that technique for creating
   child themes for other themes. But GP makes this a lot easier. The more I use
   this theme, the more I want to make it my only parent theme ever. Thank you.

 * No problem! Simple is good 🙂
