    It should work fine. It says there’s no parent theme yet it shows the parent theme under themes. The site still shows the changes of the child theme but I can’t use the editor because it thinks there is no theme. I would try activating the old parent theme and see if it works but this is a live site and I fear the child theme still might not work.

    sure enough, got the nerve up to activate the parent theme and that didn’t fix the problem. now I can’t activate the child theme. this should work! wth? Nothing changed except to update wordpress and the parent theme is blogolife and hadn’t changed any.

    It’s not just with that theme, it’s ANY child theme. I just made one for Twenty Eleven and it says the same thing. The client didn’t know to backup the database before updating either.

    Till this is resolved, I went into the phpmyadmin and changed stylesheet under wp_options to the folder name of the child theme and it is now using the whole theme again. Still says the themes are broken! Isn’t EVERYONE ELSE having this problem?

    Problem resolved. I was entering the Theme Name from the parent into Template on the child theme which was “BlogoLife” when it’s supposed to be the name of the parent folder which is “blogolife”. Somehow, 3.2.1 was case-insensitive because it shouldn’t have worked in 3.2.1 either.
