    I have updated Sixhours but can’t use the child theme that I was using as the update is so different. I have made a new child theme, but it just doesn’t work. Below is my style.css, is it wrong?

    /*
    Theme Name: My Theme
    Description: Child theme for the sixhours theme
    Author: My Name
    Template: sixhours
    */
    
    @import url("../sixhours/style.css");
    
    #site-title a {
        color: #009900;
    }

    Should the Template name above be sixhours or Sixhours? I’ve tried both but it just doesn’t work.

  • Try using a name that does not include numbers.

    Also, the child theme style.css file should not include anything copied from another theme — CSS is totally site specific, so if you are changing to the twentytwelve theme (??) then you’ll need to start making modifications specific to that theme.

    Thank you WPyogi. I have renamed the folder for the child theme without numbers and that has solved the problem. A lesson learnt!
    Thanks also to Andrew and Caroline.
