I really enjoy the Salient theme - well done. Quick question for you.
In WordPress, a child theme inherits styles from the parent theme, and the child theme's style.css overrides the parent's style.css.
When I add custom css to the style.css in my child theme, it does not seem to reflect on my website. However, when I add the css to the theme options panel, it does work.
Am I doing something wrong here? I would much rather work in a text editor than the theme options panel. Is there a way to utilize the child theme's style.css file like how other child themes work?
Styles are taking now. I am happy with this solution as it is the recommended WordPress way. I would take any comments you have though in case this is incorrect or will conflict with the theme.

Thanks very much.
After investigating, I noticed there was no call to the child theme style.css. I added a call for it in the form of:
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
Styles are taking now. I am happy with this solution as it is the recommended WordPress way. I would take any comments you have though in case this is incorrect or will conflict with the theme.
Thanks. Kevin.
