    this is my first child theme.

    parent theme-oxygen

    what i have done is started a New Folder in
    wp-content–>themes–>
    and named it oxygen-child

    save a style.css file with this info

    /*
Theme Name: oxygenChild Theme
Theme URI: http: //site.com/
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
Author: Craig
Author URI: http: //site.com
Template: oxygen
Version: 0.1
*/

@import url("../oxygen/style.css")

    went to Apearence–> themes

    and chose oxygenChild and activated it.

    i viewed it and it looked just like oxygen
    with styling

    My Problem :

    when i add anything to style.css in oxygen-child

    such as

    body {
    margin: 0;
    font: 0.75em/1.75em ‘Helvetica Neue’, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; /* 12 / 16 = 0.75; 21 / 12 = 1.75 */
    color: #444;
    background: #000;
    padding: 0;
    }

    or anything for that matter

    all styling disappears

    thanks

    From what it seems you have a syntax error; which is reasonable to presume since syntax errors break all proceeding CSS.

    Put a semicolon on the end of your @import line;

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