How to create a style sheet for twentyfourteen-child

  • I’m a beginner and I have followed directions to create a child theme for twentyfourteen and have come full stop after creating the style.css file in the child theme directory. The instructions then say the “style sheet must start with the following lines.” OK so am I to copy the style sheet I see on the WordPress support page and paste it into the style.css file ?

    Is copying “the lines given in the example” and pasting them directly into the style.css file the correct procedure ? Are there any changes that should be made to these lines for my use or are these lines a one size fits all twentyfourteen-child themes ?

    Which part of:

    You can change each of these lines to suit your theme. The only required lines are the Theme Name, and the Template. The Template is the directory name of the parent theme. In this case, the parent theme is the TwentyFourteen theme, so the Template is twentyfourteen, which is the name of the directory where the TwentyFourteen theme resides. If you want to make a child of a theme with the directory name example-theme-name, then you would use Template: example-theme-name.

    are you having a problem with?
