Cannot make twentyten child theme

  • Hello,

    I’m trying to make a child theme.

    I try everything. I’m only get:

    “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Description:
    twentyten-child Stylesheet is missing.

    For style.css file I’m using:
    “/*
    Theme Name: Twentyten Child
    Version: 1.0
    Description: Child theme for Twentyten.
    Author: Nicos
    Author URI: https://www.stirimeteo.com
    Template: twentyten
    */

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

    /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– *//”

    I’m trying also to make functions.php file.

    Nothing work on wordpress 4.1 and twentyten 1.4.

    Thank you

  • Do you actually have those double quotes in your style.css file?

    “/*

    You shouldn’t.

    Did you follow this?

    You shouldn’t use the @import line (used to be the way child themes were made, but no longer).

    I’m trying both methods with import or with function.php.

    I only use quotes here to put my codes i use.

    Thank you

    Are you using a plain text editor to make the new files? And if you change anything in the already uploaded files, you need to switch to another theme and then back to the child theme for those changes to take effect.

    Forget the @import line – it’s not the best way.

    What’s the file structure in your themes folder – it should be:

    wp-content
    themes
       twentyten
       twentytenchild

    Actually i’m using Textedit on mac.
    I’m saving as .css file.
    I’m uploading on my themes folder.

    It looks like yours.

    Thank you

    It was editor issue.
    Now is ok.

    I wanna solve that issue:

    Any other way without a child theme?

    Thank you.

    You do need a child theme to make that kind of change – but that tutorial looks pretty straightforward and it’s recent so you should be okay. And if it crashes your site, just go to your site files and delete that functions file.

    Save a copy of the functions file before making the changes, just in case.
