Search icon not displaying

Here’s the site in question: http://192.185.52.142/~mvpcamp/ (It’s still in development; hence the temporary URL.)

We are using a child theme and noticed that the magnifying glass for the search in the menu is not showing up properly. Nor are the right/left arrows in the recent posts widget at the bottom of the page.

It seems to be something with the icons/sprites but I can’t pinpoint the issue.

    Hi Jannmirch

    Thanks for your question.

    Your child style.css should only contain edited or new CSS rules, it shouldn’t contain the entire parent style.css contents. Let us know if you need a hand resolving the situation and we can advise further. The problem is that due to the style.css replication, your theme is searching for the icons in the child theme instead of the parent.

    It doesn’t seem to be recognizing the parent theme style sheet; which is why I replicated it. We are using the “custom CSS” options for the customizations. If I remove the “duplicate” styles the entire thing basically implodes.

    We’re kinda in a time crunch (of course). Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    OK. Disregard. The original thread I was referencing wasn’t showing the @import url for the parent style sheet. I found another post that used it. That did the trick for the CSS AND the child theme icons.

    Thanks!
