  • The “Theme Name:” can be anything you’d like; it only serves to identify the theme. It’s common to use something like Icy Pro Child, but there are no hard requirements. The “Template:” line needs to be exactly the same as the parent theme’s folder. For example, if the Icy Pro theme is located at wp-content/themes/icy-pro, then the line would be “Template: icy-pro”. Note that capitalization matters: Icy-pro is not the same as icy-pro.

    Hey steph Thanks soo much.. At least that is the first step for me.

    Now I am going to save this as style.css .. Write now I have it typed on a notepad ++

    And then go to my my host: Double click File Manager > Content > Themes and once I am there :

    Create a new folder and upload my style.css file there.

    Do I have this perfectly correct ?

    Please check my steps if you can

    Yes. It’s common to place the child theme in a folder named icy-pro-child or something along those lines, but as long as you’ve got the Template line correct, your child theme should work.
