This completely erased our website though when I clicked view site?

None of the work we had done is there it is now back to Colorway as the “website” not the one we had created.

Ok this worked. I have activated the child theme.
Now should I try entering the stuff above for the footer? Or how do I proceed with that?

What you have put above is how I created it.
Colorwaychild theme is its own folder under themes.

Is the child theme supposed to show up as an option?? Or just Colorway? As of right now just colorway is an option…the child theme does not appear

WPyogi -> I have entered the above into the style.css file.

I put the child theme in /wp-content/themes/colorway-child
Should the colorway-child theme be right under the Colorway theme file or should it just be under themes as it currently is?

The above that you asked me to try, am I to try just that text, and completely remove the other stuff about the footer etc?

Can you please verify where or how I activate it, I cannot seem to find where that must occur?

I entered what Ipstenu (Mika E.) said the style sheet should say, and then I also tried changing the Template to TwentyTwelve as suggested by alchymyth. Neither of these seem to work.

Under Appearance>Themes it is saying this:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name
ColorWay
Description
The parent theme is missing. Please install the “TwentyTwelve” parent theme.

Any ideas why this might be???

Hey
The live link is https://www.jdeventstyling.com

Here is what I’ve entered in my child theme style.css file:

@import url("../colorway/style.css");
/*
Theme Name: ColorWay
There URI: https://jdeventstyling.com/
Description: Child theme for the ColorWay theme
Author: jleejme
Author URI: https://jdeventstyling.com/about/
Template: ColorWay
Version: 2.5.2
*/
footer-navi {background: turquoise;}

But I cannot find it on our themes section on our wordpress admin page to make the changes to the website. Anyone provide help?? what am I doing wrong here?

Ok, thanks for the information. The instructions you included tell me to build this under the theme directory, but it does not tell me where to find the theme directory? And I’ve searched in several places. Would someone be able to provide some guidance for this?

Thank you, am looking into both suggestions, hopefully will come up successful.

Can anyone help me understand how I can format text/fonts so that it shows up properly on a Mac?? It works on the PC but on a Mac it doesn’t format properly.

We are using the font Jenna Sue.
And I hate to sound very tech illiterate, but when you say how what do you mean?? Currently we have it entered into the custom css feed under styling options.
