    Hello Members

    I was trying to make child theme for DualShock Theme. I was following instruction given here

    I have made a folder in /wp-content/theme and named it “dualshock-child”
    I have made two files “style.css” and function.php

    style.css contain following code-
    /*
    Theme Name: DualShock Child
    Theme URI: https://taxdesign.in/dualshock-child/
    Description: DualShock Child Theme
    Author: MyThemeShop
    Author URI: https://mythemeshop.com/
    Template: dualshock
    Version: 1.0.0
    */

    function.php contain the code provided in wordpress-child theme codex.

    I was able to activate it in wordpress dashboard.
    My problem is it is not loading properly. Styling is all wrong and it seems theme does not contain any style.css

    Please help me to find the mistake and make it work

    It’s not “function.php”, it’s “functions.php”.

    Also, the articles posted on Codex are for themes and plugins that are distributed on www.remarpro.com. This is because those software are built to the same standards from www.remarpro.com. There is no saying that the Codex instructions will work for commercial themes.

    Hi Andrew Nevins
    Thanks for the reply

    You were right in pointing out the use of functions.php instead of function.php
    It helped and now my child theme is working

    Thanks a lot for all the help
