    I created a vcdar-child directory. Copied the style.css and modified as attached below. It appears to break the template not allowing me to see any changes. Error on Themes page:

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description
    VCard Template is missing.

    I tried copying the entire .css into the child directory. Error above. Then I copied and modified the css file to read as denoted in follow-on post.

    ANY IDEAS OF WHAT I AM DOING WRONG?

    #main-menu li a {

    }

    The template broken error is resoled, but now the vcard thumbnail in my theme page appears all grey so do not want to activate it.

    Change the name here:

    Theme Name: VCard

    You can’t have two themes with the same name.

    Try activating it and post a link to it so someone can see what’s going on.

    ah…..OK, good catch, let me update that and see what happens.

    changed the Them name in the vcard-child css style to Theme: vcard-child

    No change. Still grey. I will activate it now. Gotta love the child directory functionality!

    When I activated it, the picture disappeared completely. How about I copy of the vcard style.css completely, changing the theme name and only the menu font color? I will try that next…

    I don’t see the child theme as active. Copying the entire stylesheet is not the way to use child themes. It duplicates code and makes it harder to keep track of what you have changed.

    IF you change it and wait more than 2 minutes, I can look at it.

    BTW, theme settings and options do not carry over to child themes, so if the picture is a theme setting, try redoing that in the child theme.

    Thank you! I wasn’t so much worried about the picture — rather the font.

    I don’t plan on changing much, if anything after this, so copying the entire code doesn’t worry me so much. Here are the two lines I changed: (just the color).

    #main-menu li a {
    color: #505259;
    display: block;
    font-size: 10px;
    padding: 16px 0 15px 60px;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-shadow: 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);
    }

    #main-menu li.current-menu-item {
    background: url(images/sprites/tab-active.png) no-repeat;
    }

    #main-menu li.current-menu-item a {
    color: #000000;
    text-shadow: none;

    Wpyogi you rock!

    I activated the above child-theme. Not worried about the picture, but the menus don’t appear — with any color font.

    Thanks for your help!

    I switched it back in case folks go to the site tonight. Let me know if you can look at it for me and I will reactivate the child theme.

    Thank you!!

    I wanted to let you know I figured out the font. I changed it in the top theme pages and it worked fine. Thanks for your assistance!! Much appreciated.

    Hi, sorry I missed this until just now. Glad to hear you got it figured out :)!
