Adding child style sheet *after* main style sheet

[armadilloParticipant Post count: 3]

I’m using Genesis 1.9.1.

I have a slightly customized theme. I add css to a child_styles.css file to override the standard styles.css file in the base child theme files.

I add my new style sheet using:


add_action('get_header', 'child_load_styles');
function child_load_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('child_style_css', CHILD_URL . 'child_styles.css');
}


However, this puts my child_styles sheet above the styles sheet in the rendered HTML.

I see a note about 1.9.1 that suggests the update is related to this – it was working before the update. But, I’m not sure what I have to change to get my child sheet loaded after the standard sheet.

Any advice?

Why don’t you just change the styles in style.css??

I’m trying to keep my changes separate so I can use any updated child themes. My theme is only lightly customized.

Try adding your action to wp_enqueue_scripts.

Bill’s right, but you probably want to add a priority to guarantee it comes after.


add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_load_styles', 99 );
function child_load_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style('child_style_css', CHILD_URL . 'child_styles.css');
}

@Travis – Per this, isn’t the default priority on the main child theme stylesheet = 5? Adding the action without specifying a priority uses the default of 10, and since 10 is later than 5, is specifying a priority really helpful? If so, how so?

Adding the action to wp_enqueue_scripts worked great. Thanks!
