Come on folks I had hoped that moving to WordPress would provide me with an active forum that answers questions. I follow what I am told and always answer other queries. On the Joomla and Serif Webplus forums I have a high record of answering people’s questions and offering IT support and yet so far the WordPress forum has been (well just say disappointing)

Dear forum readers can anybody help with my child theme issues above. All the work I do for Gurkha Regimental Associations and their charities are free of charge and I have been doing this for over 6 years. My current issues is that all the websites need to be cut over to WordPress which is new to me.
Many thanks.

Michael the folders on the server are as follows:

Themes
-index.php
-mh-magazine-lite
-mh-magazine-lite-child
– style.css

into the style css of the child folder is the following code:

/*
Theme Name: mh-magazine-lite-child
Theme URI: http: //mysite.com/
Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
Author: my Name
Author URI: http: //mysite.com/
Template: mh-magazine-lite
Version: 0.1
*/
@import ur1(“../mh-magazine-lite/style.css”)

As I understand it the line above should use the template from mh-magazine-lite.

regards Nigel

Dear Susan sorry for the delay in thanking you for your suggestion but as new to WordPress having moved from two other website software trying to get my head round everything.
Anyway uploaded the new CSS script as below and still getting the error message ‘stylesheet is missing’ I thought the @import ur1(“../mh-magazine-lite.css”) command was supposed to load the script?

Many thanks Nigel
