Broken theme parent missing but… I have changed everything

It should be this:

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child
Theme URI: https://timhupkes.com/twenty-fourteen-child/
Description: Twenty Fourteen Child Theme
Author: Tim Hupkes
Author URI: https://timhupkes.com
Template: twentyfourteen
Version: 1.0.0
*/

@import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");

Can you also tell us your website and the name of your child theme folder?

In your WordPress dashboard for themes, do you the Twenty Fourteen theme listed there as installed and can you activate it?

Hi Andrew and Jan,

website: https://www.timhupkes.com

I have twentyfourteen active now, so that’s working.

Andrew: I don’t see a difference between your code and mine… What am I missing..?

child folder: twentyfourteen-child

What’s the name of your child theme folder?

don’t see a difference between your code and mine

It’s different from the code that you posted in this thread, see:

Version: 1.0.0
*

to:

Version: 1.0.0
*/

name of child folder is twentyfourteen-child

I checked: the slash fell off when I copied it; it was there in the child theme I used.

Which file editor are you using to create your Child Theme style.css file?

Something’s not right with the way it’s parsing things: https://www.timhupkes.com/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen-child/style.css?ver=4.4

That is really weird, I use Editor (Mac) and was always convinced it didn’t use lay-out!
I will clean that up and see what happens.

I typed the important bit at the beginning from scratch (in Editor). Still getting the broken theme error…

The URL I’ve linked is the live state of your Child Theme style.css file:
https://www.timhupkes.com/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen-child/style.css?ver=4.4

The issue persists.

Use the Mac’s equivalent of Notepad, a plain text editor to create your files.

OMG….
Andrew, indeed I had to convert (in Editor which is Text Edit) to plain text… It worked!!

Thanks so much. ??
Have a great weekend!
