Favicon and child theme

asdevargas

Hello!
I followed the instructions in http://apollo13.eu/docs/hypershot/#!/image_sizes_video_support_and_others_changing_favcion and add an "images" folder to my child theme, but the favicon is not showing (not even your favicon dot, actually...). I also replaced the icon.png file in the parent theme and it doesn't appear neither... (in the admin, on theme options, yes but not browsers).

By the way, the child theme doesn't behave quite the same way as it usually does (with other themes for example), as if it didn't reconize it: in the child CSS, I made the import of parent CSS and then my edits, but changes are not showing. I had to copy the whole child CSS style to "Jetpack Edit CSS" to see the changes :S
Did I miss something??

The site is actually in construction but if you need it, I can provide frontend user & password in private message.
Thank you in advance, looking forward.

I don't know what Jetapack is messing but changes work, and you don't have to import parent theme CSS to it, as it is already add there by wordpress. Read more about CSS order http://apollo13.eu/docs/hypershot/#!/modification_of_theme_custom_css_plugin
Try to deactivate Jetpack and then see if your changes will work. Maybe other plugin is messing(also verify this).

Hi,
Thanks for your quick answer! Maybe I didn't express well myself :S For Child Theme, I followed the instruction on http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes (as always), but it doesn't recognize the changes. So I used the Jetpack CSS Edit (it's the same as Custom CSS plugin) to force the changes and keep on working, but I would like to have Child Theme work properly, not using another extra plugin.
I turned down Jetpack CSS and removed the import of the parent CSS (even if normally with other themes it doesn't give any problem), and the changes are not appearing anymore...

As for Favicon, it now appears! Maybe it was a caché issue -_-

OK I understand now, sorry :-)

Could you please post live link, activate child theme, deactivate jetpack, and write what you tried to change(although I think I will get that by reading your CSS :-) )?

I suppose that there maybe overwrite by user.css as you may be doing changes that can be done from panel, OR your CSS selector is not strong enough so it doesn't overwrite previous rules.

With regards.

Hi,
Thank you!!! Your comment drove me to the solution, solved with some '!important'
Sorry for the inconvenience... And thank you again

I believe you could do it without !important as using it may affect for example responsive parts, but if it suits you then great:-)

Have a great day:-)

Thank you (will keep it in mind).
Same to you!
