Hi LottaC,

Thanks for reaching us.

As far as I could test here, it seems to depend on how you load the stylesheets in your child theme. Testing in our local environment, I’m doing it with only the following two files:

style.css

/*
 Theme Name: Test Child Theme
 Author: NiceThemes
 Template: flatbase
*/

functions.php

< ?php

if ( ! function_exists( 'test_child_theme_enqueue_styles' ) ) :
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'test_child_theme_enqueue_styles', 0 );
/**
 * Enqueue parent and child theme styles.
 */
function test_child_theme_enqueue_styles() {

	$parent_style = 'parent-style';

	wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
	wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
		get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
		array( $parent_style )
	);
}
endif;

Note that the function is hooked with a priority of zero. This way the styles defined in the options (which are added inline) will be processed later, and will override the default styles properly.

Please let me know if this method works for you, and if I can be of further assistance.

Best,

Ricardo
