@import function not recommended by WP

Hello all, another resource here for you to have a look at if your still a little confused. I found this on youtube and followed the video. The tutorial worked for me and just thought I'd pass on the information. (NB: I'm not the author of the video or associated with it in any way.)

Personally I think it's shameful that treehouse just adds a "note" to the bottom and lets us figure it out for ourselves, this video is about two years old now (possibly three). It wouldn't take them much time to set up a camcorder and add a link to the updated video in the teachers notes. I mean it doesn't have to be the same instructor or fancy, just a 3 minute video explaining the change, why and how to implement it.

Thanks for the clarification Craig - I was wondering.

To be fair the @import is a much simpler way to do it for beginners like myself until I learn how to use functions :)

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/01/create-customize-wordpress-child-theme/ is a good resource.

Create a function.php file alongside the other two that reads:

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );

function enqueue_parent_styles() {
   wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}

This workaround should be highlighted in the Notes.

Hi m k

No! Hopefully they're not out too of date; I've just found this one bug. It cost me a day and much aggro but I'm still learning, so that's got to be a bonus! Good luck and hope you get on well with learning themes.
