    • To access Main theme files in child theme you can use below code in child theme’s functions.php file:

      $parent_style = ‘history-stylesheet’;

      // Enqueue Parent theme’s stylesheet.
      wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

      // Enqueue Child theme’s stylesheet.
      // Setting ‘parent-style’ as a dependency will ensure that the child theme stylesheet loads after it.
      wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’, array( $parent_style ) );
