Sage 9 Parent / Child theme - parent theme asset() path

[Ojay]

Hi there,

TLDR
Any ideas on how to retrieve the parent theme asset() path or failing that disable the cache busting string for the parent theme only?

Further explanation…

I’ve a parent / child theme setup… both themes based on Sage 9 and this methodology.

Only difference is I’ve some base styles in my parent theme as well as specific styles in my child theme. With a parent / child setup the asset() path always returns the child theme directory. The only way to get the parent theme css is by…

wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/../dist/styles/main.css');

Issue is, that doesn’t take into consideration the cache busting string on the end of the files. So whenever I build:production I have to manually rename the file to main.css from main_123abc.css.

Thanks for any help!

agree. we need some kind of elegant mechanism for getting assets from the parent theme.
