    Hi ,
    I have installed the theron_lite theme on my site on localhost via MAMP.
    i would like to do some customizations to the wonderful theme.

    Everytime I save a folder under htdocs>wp_content>themes> call it Theron-litechild
    and copy a style.css to it, empty the code and save only these few lines but the child theme crashes the site each time.

    The folder is called theron-litechild

    /*
Theme Name: Theron-litechild
Description: Child theme for the theron-lite theme
Author: skn
Template: theron-lite
*/

@import url("../theron-lite/style.css");

#copyright{margin-top:60px;}

#body{color:#000!important;}

    I have read the threads but my problem is not resolved. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    thanks

    The folder is called theron-litechild

    please copy the “admin” folder from the parent theme to your child theme.

    Thank you ! It was so simple.

    stupid question coming from someone comfortable with wordpress and child themes but how do I find the admin folder?

    Thanks in advance:)

    in the parent theme folder.

    thanks for the really quick reply.

    Im on the editor section of my dashboard and can’t find the admin folder listed. Is it there or in the cpanel of my hosting?

    wordpress theme editor doesnt display folders.

    you can’t make a child theme from wordpress admin panel. you will do it via ftp or your hosting panel’s “File Manager”.

    great:) thanks for all your help..penny has finally dropped with me lol

    You should also copy the contents of “images” folder from parent to child too. We experienced several image file 404s (too many to bother with selectively copying the files that needed to be copied). Probably, the most important one to copy though is checkbox.png.

    So does this mean that every time I update the parent theme that I have to copy the admin folder over to the child? Is this by design? Is this the why child themes should work? New to child themes and was just curious?

    no. not every time. you should do it only once.
