   Hi,
   I followed this guide to get a child theme up and running, but it doesn't appear in Appearance > Themes to activate. I've tried logging in again, but the theme still doesn't appear.

   Here is my style.css...
   

   /*
   Theme Name:     Oulu Red Cross
   Theme URI:      http: //www.oulunosasto.fi/
   Description:    Customisation theme for Oulu Red Cross member site. Uses twentyeleven from WordPress as parent.
   Author:         Sennomo
   Author URI:     http: //notsure.co.cc/
   Template:       twentyeleven
   Version:        2011.11.19
   */
   
   @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");
   
   #site-title a {
       color: #D81E05;
   }

   ...the path is, public_html/wp/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/twentyeleven-child/style.css

   I can't see the new theme to activate it. What have I done wrong here?

   The Child Theme needs to rest in the /wp-content/themes/ directory -- not within the Parent Theme directory.
