Seeing a few styles showing differently when using a child theme
3 replies · Started by Jung on December 19, 2020
Hi, I am using my child theme and I am noticing some elements are looking different than the original site.
For example, I am using the site library theme -- vinyasa -- and I see the cover image has a white space on both sides (margins) and some buttons are not styled properly.

@import url("../generatepress/assets/css/all.css");
As you can see I only have one line of @import, which is connected to all.css. Are there more stylesheets to connect in order to fully match the appearance of the parent theme?
Thank you.
Hi there,
Did you copy the CSS in the Additional CSS field in the customizer from the parent theme to the child theme's style.css?
Let me know :)
Okay, I placed the CSS field of the customizer from the parent theme into the child theme customizer and it did the job!
Thank you.
To come to the conclusion, I did not even need to enqueue with @import right? I read the documentation and it says using @import is not recommended.
Hi there,
thats correct you do not need to enqueue - GP does that for you.
