Child Theme not displaying correctly

    I tried making a child theme in per WordPress instructions. I uploaded and activated, but the site does not have the same layout as the parent. When I first uploaded the zip file and activated, I got an error that the index.php file was missing. So, I added it to the zip and was able to activate the child theme. But it doesn’t display.

    Can you please help?

    Thank you, jim

    Usually that happens when someone doesn’t pull the parent theme styles into the child theme using a function in the functions.php file.

    It looks like this:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chiro_pro_enqueue_styles' );
function chiro_pro_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
}

    If you give me your email, I can send you a zip file of a working child theme that I’ve tested and know to work.

    I don’t see any way to attach it in this forum.

    I’ve just added a copy of the child theme chiro-pro-child.zip to the downloads section on chirothemes.com

    So anyone can sign up there for free, and download the file to import the settings for the contact form, and a working child theme.
