    Hi, i was tring (to try) to build a child theme but i can’t to see the new theme “Twenty Ten Child” from the Dashboard › Themes

    I’ve maked a new directory in wp-content/themes (remote with upload), and name it twentyten-child
    – /wp-content/themes/twentyten/twentyten-child

    I’ve saved the code below in a file named style.css for to change the color of the site’s title (as test), and i’ve dropped this file in the new directory.

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Ten Child
    Theme URI: http://www.guidaolanda.it/blog/
    Description: Child theme for the Twenty Ten theme
    Author: Your name here
    Template: twentyten
    */
    @import url("../twentyten/style.css");
    
    #site-title a {
    color: #009900;
    }

    Why i can’t to see in dashboard a new theme child ?

    I ‘ve ulpload also the screenshot.png, i’ve tried with another browser (cache ?), i’ve tried to change in css the Template with twentyten, Twenty Ten, Twenty_Ten

    Thanks in advanced for your replay

    Using a child theme, all it takes is three simple steps:
    1. Make a new directory in wp-content/themes, and name it twentyten-child (or anything you like).
    2. Save the code below in a file named style.css, and drop this file in the new directory.
    3. Go to Dashboard › Themes and activate you new theme, the Twenty Ten Child.

  • I copied the code you used and did exactly what you said you did and it appears for me.
    Not much help, but at least you know you did everything right, so the problem isn’t in the code, or the names you used.

    Browser cache maybe, doubt it would be a plugin, wouldn’t hurt to try turning them off and checking though.

    Sorry I couldn’t be more help, good luck

    Wait, I see what you did wrong. Don’t put your new theme in the twenty ten folder, it should look like

    wp-content/themes/twentyten-child
