Hi, I am doing what it says on your link, but I just can’t seem to get any javascript to work.
I have put a clock on now. The css works fine in the child theme, but am I enqueung it correctly. Please tell me here where I have gone wrong with enqueung in functions.php.

Here is the code in functions.php:

Does your code pass the usual tests?

Look up these:

1. https://validator.w3.org/
2. https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

How do I pass the usual tests to see if code is correct

Thanks, but how do I pass the usual tests to see why and if my code is correct

It’s apparent you need to hire or outsource this work. The code tests I noted are easy to use and for all web masters I’ve worked with they were able to run the tests and use the results to fix or improve their code.

This didn’t happen here so I am left to guess you need more time to take more classes or tutorials. OR just find others to code it up for you. As a rule I don’t code for free. I will offer how I find bugs, point out or correct a bad line or two but beyond that I expect the code/web owner to put in the work.

Yes that upsets some but hey, this is all free stuff.
