Child Theme Broken
-
I read through several other forum posts on this topic, but I was unable to fix my issue. Your help is greatly appreciated. This is my first time doing this.
I’m attempting to create a child theme for a theme called buro.
I am working on this through Cyberduck FTP and using Komodo Edit. I went into the /public_html/wp-content/themes folder and created a folder named burochild
I then created a file style.css within burochild and placed within it the following code in Komodo Edit:
/*
Theme Name: Buro Child
Theme URI: http: //www.lingbphotography.com/
Description: Child theme for the Buro theme
Author: Hannah March Sanders
Author URI: http: //orangebarrelindustries.com/
Template: burochild
Version: 0.1.0
*/@import url(“../buro/style.css”);
#header {
height: 150px;
}I tried several different url formats under the @import url(“”) including typing out the full address of the location of the style.css file in the original buro theme.
I uploaded my new folder and css file using Cyberduck, but everytime I go to the WordPress dashboard, go to themes, and click to “Activate” my “burochild” theme, it says “The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.” Then my child theme disappears from the list of available themes. If I click on “Themes” on the lefthand toolbar again, it appears again.
I know I probably just typed something in wrong, but I can’t for the life of me see what. When I go directly to the link for my new style sheet in my child theme, I can see it:
