For whatever reason, the importer will only work with parent themes, not child themes. When a child theme (for a legit ThemeGrill theme) is active, there’s a persistent nag in admin, and demo import is not possible.

The message is

“ThemeGrill Demo Importer – This plugin requires Official ThemeGrill Theme to be activated to work.”

> which child theme

A generic child theme:
```
/*
Theme Name: ColorMag Child
Theme URI: https://themegrill.com/themes/colormag/
Description: ColorMag Child, ellmann creative
Template: ColorMag
Author: ellmann creative
Author URI: https://ellmanncreative.com
Version: 1.0.0
Text Domain: colormag
*/

Since this is a website I’m setting up on a local dev server (I need something for plugin development for multisite in this instance), it’s obviously not a priority.

I just wanted to give you a heads-up — if WordPress recognises that the parent theme for the child is installed and fine (enough to display the child theme – which wouldn’t otherwise work), then maybe your plugin should recognise it too.

Here’s a screenshot to clarify how the situation looks in the network manager’s end:
