I'm fairly new to wordpress and am using a child theme for the first time. I've created style.css in the new child directory and have imported a couple of the parent stylesheets.
I've had several instances where I've targeted an element (using Firebug) to make a change in the child style.css, only to have it ignored/overwritten by one of the parent css files.
The site http://www.camptalltimbers.net
Example: using firebug, locate <section id="intro-message">
I tried adding a linear-gradient background in my child CSS – it is being overwritten by the "custom.css" of the parent theme. NOTE: custom.css is one of the imported stylesheets in the new child css. Shouldn't the imported styles be overwritten by new child styles below?
Thanks for your time.
