    I want to do some of my own customisations to Bravada &/or some small fixes, but installing and activating a child theme, without any modification, does not render correctly. Also, it is curious that the ‘enqueue‘ function added to the child theme functions.php file is written out client side at the top.

    I am following standard convention when installing the child theme, here is my CSS header on the child theme:

    /*
Theme Name: Bravada Child Theme
Theme URI: https://www.brianwelch.se
description: >-
  Bravada Child Theme
Author: Brian Welch
Author URI: https://www.brianwelch.se
Template: bravada
Version: 1.0.0
License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
Tags: 
Text Domain: bravada-child
*/

    And the functions file:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );

function enqueue_parent_styles() {
   wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}

    This is how the preview and the live version renders:

    Hi there!
    I don’t know if I can support you, but have you tried something like this in your functions.php?

    <?php
/* enqueue script for parent theme stylesheeet */        
function childtheme_parent_styles() {
 
 // enqueue style
 wp_enqueue_style( 'parent', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );                       
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'childtheme_parent_styles');

    I had the same problem like you and with me this worked 🙂

    Based on the frontend output I guess your functions.php file lacks the needed <?php opening, making the server treat it as a text file.

    You need to add the correct opening and I also suggest changing it to the code below (to ensure the parent and theme styles are applied in the optimal order):

    <?php

// enqueue parent theme styling
function bravada_child_styling(){
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bravada-main', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), _CRYOUT_THEME_VERSION );  // restore parent stylesheet
	wp_enqueue_style( 'bravada-child', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array( 'bravada-main' ), date('YmdHis', filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css' ) ) ); 		// enqueue child stylesheet
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'bravada_child_styling' );

// add extra code below
