I encountered a problem with my wordpress (canvas) site in ie8 and traced it

  • 0

I encountered a problem with my wordpress (canvas) site in ie8 and traced it to the stylesheet link in the header of my child theme – this code:

href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>"

translates in the browser as “…canvas-child/style.css” which is wrong – according to woothemes instructions you should customize css in your child theme with ‘custom.css’ only, and leave ‘style.css’ in your parent ‘canvas’ theme. I really need to know 1. is this an error 2. what should this php code be pointing to? Thanks.

    Check out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes for information on child themes.

    style.css is the one and only required file in a child theme. It provides the information header by which WordPress recognizes the child theme, and it replaces the style.css of the parent.

    When you use Child Templates, just copy a file with the same name to your child theme and enter your adjustments here.
