wordpress child theme

[timoburmeister]

hi,

thanks for the good idea of a simple minifier for js and css.

But seems not to work with wordpress child themes.

I guess the error is that the necessary @import command to get the parent theme css is not correct translated. Seems like the path gets screwed.

thanks!

Hi Tim. It is better to use the wp_enqueue_style action with the get_template_directory_uri() function in your child theme, like so:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_my_parent_styles' );

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

because there is no easy way to extract URL from the import() reliably as it can be relative, absolute and even remote style.

Same issue. Where do you place this code? child style.css, .htaccess or other?
