    You are uploading an older version of the active theme. You can continue to install the older version, but be sure to back up your database and files first.

    Replace active with uploaded?

    I’m not sure if it’s the SAME problem (I was testing on 2.1 rather that 2.0) however I did find A bug which I have created a fix for here. Hopefully that will resolve your issue creating a child theme.

    Hi Jason, 

    Thank you! I did update to 2.1 since I left the thread on Support, Then, I deleted that plugin and downloaded the one that had been just updated yesterday. ?Not sure if it was diff. or not, but thought i’d try it in any case.

    I uploaded some google fonts via the editor.

    Dashboard>Create Block Theme> has this message: This page is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please try exporting from the Create Block Theme menu of the editor instead.

    I created a child theme from the editor (the wrench icon). it worked fine. no downloading a theme, then uploading a theme, just created and I think it also activated it.?

    Thanks for your help

     Eve
