Child Theme Setup Problems

CMS & WordPress
1

on this site I have a theme called Cearti installed. I tried to create a child theme setup and it doesnt seem to be overriding the parent theme.

If I firebug the homepage, and click on the CSS tab, it shows the following:

@import "http://dev.uniquerefinishing.net/wp-content/themes/Cearti/css/style.css";
@import "http://dev.uniquerefinishing.net/wp-content/themes/Cearti/css/nivo-slider.css";
@import "http://dev.uniquerefinishing.net/wp-content/themes/Cearti/css/orange.css";
@import "http://dev.uniquerefinishing.net/wp-content/themes/Cearti/prettyPhoto/css/prettyPhoto.css";

So I want to override the /Cearti/css/style.css and the /Cearti/css/orange.css files.

So I created and activated a Ceartichild theme and in there I have these files:
/themes/Ceartichild/style.css ( here’s the code)
/themes/Ceartichild/css/orange.css ( here’s the code)

Please advise why the child theme style files are not overriding the parent theme. Thanks in advance.

I am not a huge fan of child themes, but did youu have a look at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
It looks like you have to import orange.css on style.css

i figured it out. the style didnt need any import rules. I had to put the following in my header.php:

@import url(/wp-content/themes/Ceartichild/css/orange.css);
