    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 :).

    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.
