2013 Child theme not working

    Hello

    I am trying to develop a site for a client with the 2013 theme as the default. I created a child theme using:

    /*
    Theme Name: 2013 Child
    Description: 2013 Child theme
    Author: Eddie
    Template: twentythirteen
    */

    @import url(“../twentythirteen/style.css”);

    I get the 2013 theme but not styling. I have created child themes before and ran into this issue but it was due to not having the @import or misspelling something but that is not the issue here. I have tried to create a 2012 child theme on both a subdomain account and through a local development install of wordpress on my local machine with the same results. To see what I am talking about here is the link to the site I am developing for my client.

    Any help?

    Thanks

    Eddie

  • Hi Eddie,

    After looking into your problem, I’ve noticed that your website can’t find

    https://njphotography.igeekws.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteenchild/style.css

    I think that you made a mistake on this line:

    <link rel="stylesheet" id="twentythirteen-style-css" href="https://njphotography.igeekws.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteenchild/style.css?ver=2013-07-18" type="text/css" media="all">

    The folder name is not good. If by example you try this

    <link rel=”stylesheet” id=”twentythirteen-style-css” href=”https://njphotography.igeekws.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/style.css?ver=2013-07-18&#8243; type=”text/css” media=”all”>`

    The style is being loaded.

    I hope this help you.

    Thanks Julien!

    I took a look at what you said and took a step back at how I named the folders. I usually don’t mash my words together when naming folders, I include spaces. I know it is not good practice so I thought if I add an underscore to the name of the folder it would fix my problem. Low and behold, it did. Again, I usually don’t do that but now I guess I will have to start.

    Thanks for helping me with this situation.

    Eddie
