• I have the hostmarks theme ,I logged into my host account,
    found themes , created new folder ,called it hostmarks-child,
    I opened notepad pasted the following text into it
    /*
    Theme Name: Hostmarks Child Theme
    Description: Child theme for the Hostmarks theme
    Author: paul
    Template: Hostmarks
    */

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

    saved it as style.css in the child folder
    but its not showing up in appearance/ themes , can anyone help?

  • Yep, just change the capital H to a small h here:

    Template: Hostmarks

    Glad to see you’re making one :).

    hi again, tried that it still aint workin

    Have you cleared you browser cache? And any one your site?

    Also see if changing the name on the child theme folder to remove the hyphen – see if that makes any difference – sometimes that seems to matter.

    tried them two still don’t work
    here are the pathway for files
    public_html/wp-content/themes/hostmarks
    public_html/wp-content/themes/hostmarks/hostmarkchild

    I think they are right

    Actually, a child theme goes on the same level as the parent – kind of counter-intuitive, I know. So move that folder into the themes folder directly.
