css - Having issues Creating a Child Theme in WordPress -

hello followed steps on: https://codex.wordpress.org/child_themes

and still no luck, theme activates fine parent theme still remains active.

style.css:

functions.php:

file location & wp editor:

any appreciated thank you. again child theme not seem overwrite parent theme dalton.

you shouldn't need enqueue parent theme's stylesheet in child theme css - should enqueued (and may find, if in source, you've got 2 copies of parent theme stylesheet in place).

enqueue child theme stylesheet so:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_the_enqueue_styles', 12); // give lower priority should enqueued after parent theme  function my_the_enqueue_styles() {     wp_enqueue_style('child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css'); } 

...then, in child theme css, add obvious like:

body {     background-color: purple; } 

...and should see child theme stylesheet loaded alongside parent theme elements.

it's worth noting get_template_directory_uri() refer parent theme, whereas get_stylesheet_directory_uri() refer currently-active child theme. if there no child/parent theme , you're using regular standalone theme, can use these commands interchangeably.
