Hi,

Hi,

Is there a better code for enqueuing CSS in the child theme to prevent the parent theme’s CSS from overriding the child theme’s CSS?
I always have to use a lot of “!important” in the child CSS, which is not good for website optimization. If I can avoid this “!important”, it will be great.

I am currently using this enqueuing code:

function child_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-theme', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), 100 );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_enqueue_styles' );

Is there a more efficient code that allows the child CSS to take priority over the parent theme CSS?

Thanks!
