Template is missing — child theme — WordPress 3.6 — subdomain

  • I have been able to duplicate this same problem on a two different servers — one self-hosted(debian linux w/ ispmanager), the other on hostgator (cpanel). Initially I thought it was a problem with the theme (elegant themes: vertex); however, it was repeatable with the tenthirteen wordpress theme.

    This seems to have been introduced with latest WordPress (3.6) update — with latest Vertex theme update — Vertex theme downloaded on July 9 did not produce this error. After updating to Latest (as of August 8, 2013) Vertex theme, this error was produced:

    This is using a sub-domain:
    Latest wordpress (3.6) installed new (via manually created mysql database)
    subdomain in format of: vertex.example.com
    wordpress install in format of: vertex.example.com/wp

    manually created child theme(vertex-child) with a style.css file containing the following:
    @import url(“../Vertex/style.css”);

    got identical “Template is missing.” error when doing same thing for Twenty-Thirteen theme (twenty-thirteen-child):
    @import url(“../twentythirteen/style.css”);
    Twenty Thirteen Child Theme Template is missing.

    I am reverting back to previous (working version) now …

  • I am having this same issue after updating dozens of client sites to 3.6+

    These are child themes that have been untouched for 2-3 years and all of the sudden say:
    ERROR: Template is missing.

    This is what I am using…

    /*
Theme Name: GSI Child Theme
Theme URI: https://clearbrands.com
Description: Child theme for the Canvas theme
Author: Blake Imeson
Author URI: https://www.blakeimeson.com
Template: canvas
Version: 0.3.2

    Unlikely your issue is the same – please start your own thread –

    @wpyogi why not?

    It is giving me the exact same error text he is experiencing and this is something new since 3.6
    Most of the sites I am experiencing this on are on HostGator dedis.

    He mentions subdomains but I am not so my issue isn’t related.

    Maybe you missed this part:

    Unless you are using the same version of WordPress on the same physical server hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the original poster, do not post in someone else’s thread. Start your own topic.

    And since you’re presumably no longer using 3.6, this thread really isn’t relevant.

    FWIW, I’ve not seen any threads on this particular issue.

    why not?

    Because this is how these forums work. Perhaps you need to review the Forum_Welcome?
