Child Theme Creator by Orbisius

I use Themify themes and when I create a child theme with Orbisius, it's mostly OK, but for some reason the mobile css file styles are not overriding the main css files so it messes some stuff up on smaller screens.

I checked the inspector and it's pulling in the mobile css it's just not overriding the main css for some reason.

I removed the functions.php file from the child theme folder and that fixed it, so I think it has something to do with how the scripts/styles are enqueued.

styles messed up on mobile

I used multiple time and get it super easy to use.
