In that case?

You mean, in EVERY case if users are using your themes, since the responsive.css file will, according to the theme’s code, ALWAYS come AFTER the child style.css.

Modification request for your next update to this theme:

Make certain that the STYLE.CSS in the child theme is the VERY LAST CSS FILE so that we may be able to make CSS style changes the way your theme promotes that we are able to do.

Right, I would expect that to work as well… but it doesn’t seem to be.

In my /flexform/css/responsive.css file, I have the following code

@media only screen and (min-width: 1250px) {
	/* LAYOUT */
	.boxed-layout {
		width: 1230px;
	}	
}

I want that width changed to 1200px, so in my /flexform-child/style.css, I add

@media only screen and (min-width: 1250px) {
	/* LAYOUT */
	.boxed-layout {
		width: 1200px;
	}	
}

The desired effect does not take effect, chrome dev tools inspect element still shows .boxed-layout as 1230px.

The html head tag show my linked css files as such:

<link rel="stylesheet" id="main-css-css" href="http://localhost/nkaddwp/wp-content/themes/flexform-child/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" id="responsive-css-css" href="http://localhost/nkaddwp/wp-content/themes/flexform/css/responsive.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

Therefor, regardless of what I do to /flexform-child/style.css, the responsive.css file will always overwrite it, unless it is moved above the reference to /flexform-child/style.css in the header tag.

So, it would seem there is a need to do what I suggested in the original post since I cannot seem to edit any of the responsive files…

OK, but you are basically telling me that I am unable to create and use a child-theme, without hiring a developer?

I was under the impression that WordPress child theme was the way to go if I needed to make customize the theme, so that any updates to the theme wouldn’t result in me losing those customizations. This is a completely clean installation of flexform, activation of the child theme and trying to customize a single page via the child-theme.

Adding the code to you suggested broke the parent theme… how does this not fall under a bug or are you saying I can’t customize the theme, except for the css and few pages in the root of the theme directory?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_category_list() in /home/unleashe/public_html/caninewp/wp-content/themes/flexform/includes/page-builder/composer/lib/shortcodes/portfolio.php on line 428

If I remove the functions.php from my child-theme… the site works. If I add it back with the code you provided, the above error occurs.

[ClaytonDaniels]

Correct, sorry that wasn’t clear, but the child them is active. I have the style.css file and changes that I make to that style.css file do take effect. However, when I copy the file at

flexform/includes/page-builder/composer/lib/shortcodes/team.php

and paste it to

flexform-child/includes/page-builder/composer/lib/shortcodes/team.php

no changes take effect when I edit the file. It seems that it should work, but it doesn’t.

[ClaytonDaniels]

This did the trick, as long as I edited the theme file… I tried to edit the child theme file and it didn’t work. I’m new to WordPress, so maybe I don’t fully understand Child Themes, but I recreated the directory structure under my flexform-child theme directory (/flexform-child/includes/page-builder/composer/lib/shortcodes/team.php) and edited the file, uploaded it and didn’t see the expected results.

Also, is there a way to ORDER the team members? Strikes me as odd that this isn’t a quick edit, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks for the help!
