Thread: Child theme @import statements - remove after setup?

Child theme @import statements - remove after setup?

We set up and are continuing to modify a child theme. When we started we moved a copy of the style.css file to the child theme folder and began our modifications. AS part of the setup, we included the "@import.." lines as instructed in the tutorial.

We are having trouble with what I believe is the FOUC - Flash Of Unstyled Content" issue. It describes what we are seeing perfectly: when the page loads, before seeing the styled content we see a plain - jane page with no styling at all just for a couple of seconds. Research on the web suggests that the problem is caused at least in part by the "@import" line in a style sheet. I tested this in another site we have - but are not using - and it seems to help (I deleted the two lines from the child style.css file)

The issue is most noticeable in Firefox.

If ALL of our main style stuff is in the child folder/file now, do those lines need to stay? Sorry that I can't post a link to the site yet..

Any thoughts??
