I have created a child theme and made a new style.css for it that only contains the lines changes in my previous iteration. (I’m preparing to upgrade, so need to capture my changes)

I’m running in to 2 issues:

1. The Appearance options in my child theme when doing a Live Preview no longer contains “Header Image”

2. When I activate my child theme, much of the css is malformed. I’m assuming this is probably because I added only the changed lines in my child’s style.css, but I’m not sure how much/little to include. Below is my current chile style.css:

/*
Theme Name: Attitude Child Theme
Theme URI: https://www.themehorse.com/themes/attitude
Template: attitude
Author: Theme Horse
Author URI: https://www.themehorse.com
Attitude WordPress Theme, Copyright 2013 Theme Horse
Attitude is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL
*/

@import url("../attitude/style.css");

/* =Reset default browser CSS. Based on work by Eric Meyer: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/index.html
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

/* Theme Modifications Start Here */

/* No Border/Margin/Padding */

.no-margin-left {
	margin-left:10px !important;
}

/* Forms */

input.s {
	background: url(images/search.png) no-repeat right 5px #fff;
	padding: 0px 33px 0px 0;

}

/* =Header
----------------------------------------------- */
#branding {
	margin-top: 0px;	
}
.hgroup-wrap {
	padding-top: 10px;
	padding-bottom: 0px;
}
site-logo {
  	margin-top: 0px;
}

.hgroup-right {
	margin-top: 0px;
}

/* Social Profiles */

.social-profiles ul li {
	margin-top: 7px;
}

/* =Menu
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

/* Dropdown */

#access ul li ul {
	top: 45px;
}

Any help would be appreciated. Doing my best to help my friend out, and apparently know just enough to be dangerous. 😉

@jmccaleb The approach that you have followed looks perfectly fine to me. Make sure the style.css that you imported is not altered one.
