In reply to: Child theme not inheriting parent themeGood explanation. Things are starting to make more sense.
I assumed (and we all know where that will get you :] ) that when making color changes, etc in the dashboard, those changes get written to the CSS. Apparently that’s not the case, as you’ve mentioned, because searching through the CSS, I can’t find those color settings anywhere.
No, I have not contacted the vendor. I like to troubleshoot things and figure out what’s going on. Support for free products is usually lacking, but I’ll contact them if it comes down to it. I like to tinker with things. 🙂
Does WordPress give me direct access to the database or is that something that the individual theme would have to allow? I’m not much of a back-end guy, but I did take a PHP class. Just wondering if I could tweak those things myself.

In reply to: Child theme not inheriting parent themeThank you for your reply, Stephen. I’ll add a screenshot for my child theme.
I believe I have the option to change header, font, etc colors in my theme. If not, I imagine it can be done via CSS. That just doesn’t sound right though. If the purpose of a child theme is to override settings in the parent theme, if I don’t make changes to it, it should remain what it was in the parent theme, no? Aren’t the colors of those items assigned in the style sheet? My functions.php is supposed to import the styles from the parent. It doesn’t appear that they are being imported. Is my functions.php code correct?
