  • Im new to this but im using ifeature 4.1.4 I have followed the directions on child theme
    and it look like this.

    /*
    Theme Name: iFeature
    Theme URI: http://cyberchimps.com
    Description: Child Theme for iFeature
    Author: charlietech
    Author URI: http://test.xertion.com/
    Template: ifeature
    Version: 4.1.4
    */

    @import url(“../ifeature/style.css”);

    in my dashboard, its saying that the theme is broken, reason is the parent theme needs to be installed. I have unistalled and restalled it a couple of times.

    Can anyone help?

  • make sure to have the original ifeature theme installed.

    the folder of the parent theme ifeature should be:

    /wp-content/themes/ifeature/

    then try to use a different name (and folder) for the child theme.

    in which folder is the child theme located?

    wp-content/themes/ifeature/

    for curiosity, why would the name of my theme affect anything?

    the child theme has to have at least a different folder from the parent theme,

    about the name I am not too sure, however I would use a different one as themes are referenced in the database by their name – try it out.

    the name of the folder is pure. I had a different name, i have a style.css and index.php.

    Thanks for your time and help, I really appreciate it. Do you know anything abut firebug? if you do, it allows you to access the html of the site but I want to know how to insert it into the template Im using to put the content exactly where I want it. Im not familiar with php .

    If you can help me with that, i would really appreciate it.
