  Hi there

  I found it very difficult to override parent theme CSS with child theme CSS. It seems I need to add !important after every declaration, which is clearly not the right way to work.

  Child theme CSS should override easily over the parent CSS. The main problem with adding !important after every declaration:
  A) Code is messy
  B) A lot of work
  C) It is not the right way
  D) Will not take affect for declaration you have added !important on the original parent stylesheet.

  So could you fix this issue so I will be able to easily override the CSS ?

  Many thanks !

  Hi, I’m afraid due to the many color options we include with the theme options we need to have the css in a certain hierarchy and also sometimes need to add !important. If you’re looking for an easy way to override css with a child theme I’m afraid you’ll need to look for a very basic theme without all the options we provide.

  Cheers
