I am trying to create a child theme named "Quanties" for twentyten template. i create a folder Quanties in the same folder where twentyten folder is. and i create a style.css file here. but whatever code i write, when trying to activate my child theme wordpress says "the theme is broken" and i must set the twentyten theme back. even when my style.css is almost empty like this example:
/*
Theme Name: Quanties
Theme URI: http://www.wlashack.com
Description: Child Theme for twentyten default theme for WordPress
Author: wlashack
Author URI: http://www.wlashack.com
Template: twentyten
Version: 1.0
*/
@import url('../twentyten/style.css');
wtat is wrong? thanks a lot for advice.
Are you creating the child in themes folder not in twentyten folder

yes. the folders structure is:
themes
twentyten
Quanties
style.css

oh, it removed the spaces. :) once more:
themes
twentyten
Quanties
style.css
Why not copy n paste style.css unto yr new child theme folder. At the moment one style.css is importing another style.css .its a loop......
so do what i suggest and delete the import statement
You have import wrong
@import url('../twentyten/style.css');
this what you have it should be
@import url("../twentyten/style.css");

no, it is not the mistake. no matter if i use single quotes or double quotes, the problem still remains. it must appear somewhere during theme activation.
1. if twentyten is active and my child is in the list of available themes, everything looks ok and the theme twentyten works perfectly on my site quantummind.howto.cz.
look here: http://www.ulozto.cz/6914544/01-jpg
2. when i try to activate the child theme, error message appears and the admin panel is unable to display info from the style.css header - author, files folder etc.
look here: http://www.ulozto.cz/6914597/02-jpg
3. and this is how the folders structure looks and the whole contents of my style.css: http://www.ulozto.cz/6914637/03-jpg

@govpatel
Most of the documentation shows the import url incorrectly.... glad I found your comment! Mine is working now. Only the custom header image isn't showing up.
Ok, just uploaded the image.... all working now.
