child theme problem!

Is the child theme folder in the themes folder, NOT in the parent theme folder?

Hi WPyogi,

Yes it’s in, wp-content -> themes -> infoway-child

Try removing the hyphen in the name – sometimes that makes a difference.

Also, how did you make the style.css file – in a text editor and uploaded via FTP?

I will remove the hyphen,

Its showing up now on the appearance page, but says style sheet missing !!

sorry forgot to mention, yes i created the file in dreamweraver and uploaded via FTP!

Oh my god!!

I had a typo! i mis spelt ‘style’ i has sytle.css instead!!

Problem solved!! Its showing up for me know..

thanks for your replies!!

LOL! Well, that’s a good one! Glad you caught it before you pulled out any more hair!

Loks like i’m not out of the woods yet! I just activated my theme and now all i’m getting is a white screen.. cant even log into the admin panel!!

I think now that i activated my child theme as a main theme..how can i fix this??

Yikes! Just use FTP to change then name on the child theme-that forces WP to use the default theme and you should be able to login.

just decided to delete the child theme folder all together, and now i get a – Error occurred: 404 – not found ??

I have logged in now!! Thank god..

I will try and upload the child theme again..

still no good, I havn’t a clue what is wrong with my child theme…

I have a folder in themes called infoway-child, in this i have my style.css file

/*
Theme Name: InfoWay child
Theme URI: https://londubhwhistle.ie
Description: Custom build Child theme
Author: Kate O’Dwyer
Author URI: https://www.kateodwyer.com
Template: infoway

*/

@import url(“../infoway/style.css”);

I have uploaded this file to the server via FTP, into the themes folder, where the main parent folder called infoway is also..

Any solution??

Can you see the child theme among your installed themes? If so try activating it.

for some reason It’s listed under available themes! I did try and activate it earlier on and was left with a bank screen..

The WordPress Theme is called InfoWay, but the folder its stored in on the remote server is called infoway, am i correct in using this lowercase name for the import?

@import url(“../infoway/style.css”);

Another question is: in my local root folder there is NO folder called infoway, i created a folder called infoway-child, should i go and created a folder called infoway also?

Underneath available themes it now says This child theme requires its parent theme, InfoWay.
