I am using XAMPP to host locally while I make my website aesthetically pleasing, once it looks how I want I plan on hosting with localhost. Yesterday I learned what a child theme was so today I took the (hopefully) proper steps to create one. I have included the headers for both the styles and function files of my child theme in this post, because I suspect the functions file may be the culprit here. I have a little css knowledge, really all I wanted to do was change my background and the font for the website, which is very easy. As shown above while using WP Editor every change I make to my child theme stylesheet “grand-sunrise” updates as expected. However when I go Dashboard>Appearance>Customize as well as if I navigate to Local host/Site Folder/Wordpress, none of my css loads. And also Woocommerce seems to not be able to understand that I want to use custom css. I am trying to figure out why this is, I know it has to be either a problem with how I have the headers and thus the files are not read correctly (which is confusing to me because its working fine in the editor, it should look how I edited it), or a caching issue (because that is what research keeps saying it is). I do not want to go the “additional css” route because for some reason when I did do that I never saw the change apply.
