I recently purchased the Tameer Construction Pro. I made a child theme to this template to customize the template further. I have made the style.css and functions.php files. I can activate my child them but not all of the parent theme’s stuff transfer over. Could you help me figure out why? Thank you

Thank You for choosing us!
You need to activate the parent theme to do the the changes.
All the main files are included in the parent theme.
A WordPress child theme takes the functionality of another theme, named parent theme. It gives you the possibility to customize an existing theme. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can activate the child theme and work within it.
All customizations are stored in the child theme and anything in the child takes priority over the parent. So if the same file exist in both child and parent, the file from the child will control that aspect of the theme.
If you need some other help please let us know regarding the theme.
Thank You.

Thank you. I just want to make sure I understanding you correctly. So, I will activate and do all my customization in the parent theme. However, all my CSS will be written in the parent theme’s style sheet?
Thank you again for your help.
