• Hi there.

    I’ve just succeeded in upgrading from version 2.3 to 3.1 (no small feat!) and I’m trying to start off on the right foot by switching to the Twenty Ten theme and creating a child theme from it.

    When I activate the Twenty Ten theme, it looks pretty good, and fonts and styles are rendered stylishly (albeit differently than in my old theme).

    When I activate the bare-bones child theme however, all of the text is in Times, with ugly underlined links. From all that I’ve read, the two themes should be identical until I do something to the child.

    The code to my style.css is below. I’ve tried it with both the import line and none at all with the same result. I can only assume that there’s something in the original formatting of my posts that’s overriding something? I really have no idea. I’m an amateur, and I did a lot of tweaking back in 2006 to get the pretty theme I love (which is the one active right now at squamloon.com).

    /*
    Theme Name: SquamLoonland Redux
    Theme URI: https://www.squamloon.com/
    Description: My 2011 Twenty Ten Child Theme
    Author: SquamLoon
    Author URI: squamloon.com
    Template: twentyten
    Version: 0.1
    */

    @import url(‘..twentyten/style.css);

  • In the line that starts with @import url, you want:

    ../twentyten

    rather than:

    ..twentyten

    The missing slash is needed to indicate which directory the original stylesheet is in.

    Well I’ll be darned. And I’d forgotten the second apostrophe in that iteration as well! (I’d had other issues with DreamWeaver crashing and downloading a new text editor, etc.)

    Thanks, Amy! That was fast!

    Sheepishly,

    Happy to help – and good luck with the rest of your upgrade!
