Twenty Fourteen Child theme not working

    I have no idea what I’m missing here, I just can’t seem to make my child theme work. This is what my style.css looks like atm:

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Fourteen Child
    Theme URI: https://www.www.remarpro.com
    Description: twenty fourteen child theme
    Author: Trim For Eldre
    Author URI: https://trimforeldre.net/
    Template: twentyfourteen
    Version: 1.3
    */

    @import url(“../twentyfourteen/style.css”);

    Shouldn’t this work? I’ve edited it several times to make sure everything is like it should. I also uploaded the functions.php which did nothing.

    But like I said a plugin would be totally fine – there are quite a few but this one seems to be widely used and good reviews:

    Hmm I think there’s a difference, because this worked. ??

    OMG! My eyes (and/or my brain) must really suck. I should have tried that right away – sorry :)!

    But awesome that it’s working now in any case!

    Hehe! What exactly did you do? Didn’t you just remove some of the lines in the stylesheet?

    I used files from another child theme I’d made for twentytwelve – changed the various bits for twentyfourteen. But I’m kinda thinking that something (invisible?) was messed up in your functions.php file – because I can’t see anything wrong with style.css and it wouldn’t likely cause such a major problem.

    But servers and caches (browser and server) can be weird sometimes so who knows.
