Child Theme Lilaea Media Plugin

[ben114]

Does anyone else have this plugin? I’m trying to find out why some of the changes in the child aren’t overriding the parent information. I.E I’m trying to change the Horizontal-break color from the default Grey to a different color but it seems to not be overriding it. Does it have to do anything with it being a shortcode? Thank you!

I have never heard of this plugin before, but maybe someone else is using it 🙂

Hey Melanie! Thanks for getting back to me. So I just used the plugin to create a child theme. My main problem now is trying to get the site to read my child theme css, because as of now it is now overriding any of the changes I want to make. I have read numerous forums where it has to do with where my header is getting its information from. I’ve located the problem through web inspector, which is I need to create a child for Funcions.php, but that is where I get a little lost. I know I’m close, I just need that extra little push in the right direction.

The site I’m doing is rawdawgdotcom.com/sugimotopictures
– Under Sugimoto: I want to change the divider color from grey to the ff0077, which is what is written in the child css..

I hope this helps!

To break it down, I’m having trouble having my child theme override the parent. I searched your forums and saw someone have the same problem but was resolved and I was hoping I could find out what he changed to have it direct to his child theme. Here’s where I am feeling it will go (under main-css, but need to be sure. Help?

If you add the correct information to the head of the style.css file it should automatically override it. I wouldn’t rely on a plugin when making a child theme, so I’m not sure if that plugin is legit, therefor it’s not easy to help. I recommend contacting the plugin developers.
