Child Theme using @import

    In a flurry of excitement as a new WP user I unfortunately made some changes to my Stylesheet without creating a Child Theme. From poking around the forums I gather that my best bet for simply creating a Child Theme would be to add an @import line to the beginning of my Child Theme Stylesheet. Problem is, I have no idea how to do so.

    Any thoughts?

    PS, I’ve read about the ‘one-click child theme’ plugin. Would this be beneficial in my case?

    Many thanks.

    Since I am using Responsive theme, would that make my @import line:

    @import url("../responsive/rtl.css")

    @import url('../responsive/style.css')

    Excellent. I did the @import line and it appears that the only things I lost were a custom background and a header image. Is this to be expected or was there an issue with the import?

    Now that you have a child theme – look at the themes section of your blog…make sure the child theme is active, and review your options.

    Thanks!

    I have my child theme (myresponsive) folder with the style.css file inside the folder at my ftp server but the child theme is not showing up in my Available Themes when I go to the dashboard via wp-admin.
    I was told that once you have the child theme set up in your ftp files at the host server, you do not have to INSTALL the child theme again via the Dashboard? So I am wondering why its still not there as an available theme?
    Help with this would be appreciated.

    You have to put it in /wp-content/themes/ ??
