• Hello,
    I am following a tutorial to make a child theme and make changes to twenty twelve theme. I wrote the new css file and saved that under the new folder. Uploaded that folder into my host, go daddy. (that is where the wordpress has been installed)
    Howevere when I go to wordpress I dont see the new theme at all! any thoughts or suggestions is highly appreciated.

    Here is the css file that I wrote:

    /*
    Theme Name: Child of Twnty Twelve
    Theme URI:
    dESCRIPTION: COOL cHILD tHEME BASED ON 2012
    Author: Mahsa
    Version:0.0.1
    Template:Twentytwelve

    CSS Document */
    @import URL(‘../TWENTYTWELVE/STYLE.CSS’);

    in mine css file is exactly
    @import url(“../twentytwelve/style.css”);

    ???? could it be the matter of time to be updated from godaddy ftp site?

    It has not changed in the actual site – switch to another theme and then back – make sure you’ve cleared any caches on the server.

    Still no luck!

    I still see this:

    /*
    Theme Name:     Child of Twenty Twelve
    Theme URI:
    Description:    Cool child theme based on 2012
    Author:         Mahsa
    Template:       twentytwelve
    Version:        1.1.1
    */
    
    @import url("../twentytwelve/editor-style.css");

    What do you see in the Appearance > Editor – look at style.css file?

    I am not sure where is Appearance Editor.
    In FTP file manager site in Go daddy I see this:
    /*
    Theme Name: Child of Twenty Twelve
    Theme URI:
    Description: Cool child theme based on 2012
    Author: Mahsa
    Template: twentytwelve
    Version: 1.1.1
    */

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

    In the Dashboard, there is a section called Appearance – in there is Editor – click there and you’ll see a bunch of files listed on the right side of the screen. Click on the one called style.css – what’s shows up in that file?

    If you are using an FTP editor to make changes, that may be the problem.

    Yes, I am logged in as an admin. Dose anyoe have a clue? I have uploaded the css file in go daddy FTP editor to make a child theme. Howevere it dose not link the style of the child theme to the parent theme. Any suggestion?

    Cheers

    I still see the same page – as I copied above – on your site. So something is not working. If you don’t have Appearance in your Dashboard, you are not logged in as Admin or WordPress has a more serious problem. Look under Users – what is your Role?

    I have been logged in as Admin. For some reason I could not see appearance…
    Now it is showing up in site and that is what I see under the css file:
    /*
    Theme Name: Child of Twenty Twelve
    Theme URI:
    Description: Cool child theme based on 2012
    Author: Mahsa
    Template: twentytwelve
    Version: 1.1.1
    */

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

    Now, the theme is changed to Responsive theme?

    Well I managed to get it the child theme work by removing and reinstalling the twentytwelve theme! And IT started to work….

    Now I am trying t make changes to the child theme: like getting rid of shadow that 2012 theme has. this is css file for my child theme which dose not work:
    /*
    Theme Name: Child of Twenty Twelve
    Theme URI:
    Description: Cool child theme based on 2012
    Author: Mahsa
    Template: twentytwelve
    Version: 1.1.1
    */

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

    .entry-content img, {
    border: 0;
    border-radius: 0px;
    box-shadow: none;
    }

    Remove the comma after img .

    Also, if you want those removed everywhere, you’ll need to add all the selectors used in the parent theme:

    .entry-content img, .comment-content img, .widget img, img.header-image, .author-avatar img, img.wp-post-image {
        border-radius: 0;
        box-shadow: none;
    }
