  • I'm sure there is a debate about how to structure the child-parent-theme relationship. I don't think it is safe to just assume anything about the parent theme. I do personally prefer to manually load styles in a child theme. But, those are decisions you need to make about the nature of the child theme and clearly communicate that. If the child themes are just for simple visual tweaks, then the parent loading the child's stylesheet is probably fine. But if the parent theme is a framework, then I would go towards the child theme loading the stylesheets. Commented Nov 9, 2014 at 16:31
