Getting Broken Themes message in themes dashboard when creating Child Theme

Good morning everyone,

I’ve been trying for a few days to get a child theme to work. I have followed directions from several sites, including this one, to create a child theme and I seem to have done everything necessary but still get this message on the theme dashboard:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description
asteria lite child theme The parent theme is missing. Please install the “asteria lite” parent theme.

I have installed Asteria Lite already and it’s plainly there in front of my eyes so I don’t understand the message?

I created a file called style.css and placed it within a folder called asteria-lite-child. The exact tree is: wp-content/themes/asteria-lite-child/style.css The folder for the parent template is right next to the folder for the child template: asteria-lite. This is the code in the style.css file:

@charset “UTF-8”;
/* CSS Document */

/*
Theme Name: asteria lite child theme
Theme URI: https://www.towfiqi.com/asteria-lite-free-wordpress-theme.html
Description: asteria-lite child theme
Author: Towfiq I.
Author URI: https://www.towfiqi.com/
Template: asteria lite
Version: 1.0.0
*/

@import url(“../asteria-lite/style.css”);

/* =Theme customization starts here
——————————————————- */

I’ve tried changing upper and lower case etc but nothing works. I’ve contacted the author who I read is very quick at getting back but I’ve had no answer. Maybe on vacation?

I’m getting a bit desperate as I need to get off the ground with this for my client. Can anyone please help with this? Thanks in advance!
