Techozoic Fluid Child Theme CSS

So I’m using Jeremy Clark‘s Techozoic Fluid WordPress theme for this site. Kinda cool, eh?

Update [27 Mar 2017]: I’m now using Raam Dev‘s Independent Publisher as my base theme.

I wanted to modify and minify the style.css file and make a couple of other changes. Given these other changes, I decided the best solution was to make a WordPress child theme. So I followed the instructions and expected that the header would reflect my new style.css file.

Alas, taking a look at the page source, it did not:

So I took a look at themes/techozoic-fluid/header.php, and found the problem on line 76:

It looked like get_template_directory_uri() was returning the main theme’s directory, not the child theme. Sure enough, the docs state:

In the event a child theme is being used, the parent theme directory URI will be returned, not the child theme directory URI

The fix was simple. Changing it to the following grabs the css file from the child theme:

Voilà!
