Odai,

I am having trouble establishing a Child Theme – seems pretty simple but it is giving me trouble. I added a folder named 2010_child onto which I put a file giving me content/themes/2010_child/style.css containing this–

/*
Theme Name: 2010_child
Theme URI: https://www.breathminder.com
Description: Child theme of WordPress Twenty Ten theme
Author: Joel McPherson
Author URI:
Template: twentyten
Version: 1.0
.
To remove unwanted blogging features from pages
.
*/
@import url(../twentyten/style.css);
but when I go to activate the new child theme, I get an error message on the WP available themes page of my ‘admin’

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name Description
Template is missing.

can you spot what I did wrong?

Thank you for the help. . .I am not versed in CSS and will need to study child themes – is there a tutorial or an information page that will help me learn this?

Odai,

Thanks again for your ideas. I went to contents folder and dumped one-and-only plugin I had for that shopping cart. . .went out and tried to log in, but got https://www.breathminder.com/?page_id=325%2Fwp-login.php&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.breathminder.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 again and same corrupted page; went to themes folder and I do have TwentyEleven, TwentyTen, and Weaver II all listed, so I got rid of Weaver and emptied trash can, closed out everything and tried to log in to WP Admin, this time I not only couldn’t log in, now my page (albeit corrupted) is gone totally. . .there’s nothing left of my pages on breathminder.com. If I re-install WP, won’t that erase all my pages?

Pankaj – thanks for your help but I am unable to login to admin and I am seeking help on how to login

Odai, thanks for your help, but there is no direct link that works. . .you sound on the right track that Weaver or plugin got me hung up. Do you think changing themes and changing plugins would be a way to resolve this? BTW, I keep seeing references to Twenty Eleven. . .I do not run a blog, just pages, so is Twenty Eleven tailored to blog sites or will it run pages equally well? (Some themes seem to focus on blogging more so than support for pages) Think I’d be better off with a different theme/plugin?

I ran into an almost identical problem this morning – turned a site that was looking sweet into mush and now not able to lot in to WP Admin page
