Thanks, Paulwpxp! That worked (after I applied the background to a couple of other hover conditions) and it’ll definitely help me in the future.
However, it still did not want to change the #access a font to #FFFFFF, so I just put “white” which did work. Is there a reason for that?
After clicking on the bazillionth forum link I finally found the answer. I had spaces in my folder name. Problem solved. Thanks though, Andrew!
My bad, it is. I typed it incorrectly instead of copy and pasting. So, here’s a copy and pasted version:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child
Theme URI: http://madeleinebee.com/
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme
Author: Madeleinebee
Author URI: http://madeleinebee.com/my-story/
Template: twentytwelve
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(“../twentytwelve/style.css”);
Same problem is still occurring. Could it be because I made changes to the theme before I made the child theme?
