Child theme issue
-
Hello,
I’m trying to install a child theme for Snaps but I keep getting the following error.The parent theme is missing. Please install the “snaps\” parent theme.
The parent theme is absolutely installed. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it just to be sure that it was installed correctly. I’ve tried adding the child theme both when snaps was activated and deactivated, and I get the same message.
This is what my style.css sheet looks like.
/*
Theme Name: Snaps
Theme URI: http://graphpaperpress.com/themes/snaps/
Description: Snaps Child
Author: Graph Paper Press
Author URI: http://graphpaperpress.com
Template: snaps
Version: 1.0.2*/
@import url(“../snaps/style.css”);
I have checked and double checked that the casing of “snaps” in the template and @import section is the same as the parent theme’s directory, and it is. I am uploading the style.css under wp-content/themes/snaps-child, and the parent theme’s style.css is under wp-content/themes/snaps.
I’ve tried rearranging the order of the items in the stylesheet, removing all the lines except the template, theme name, and @import, and various other things.
Initially the error I was receiving was that there was not a template (the template line was exactly the same as it is currently), but in my last few attempts it is telling me that the parent theme is missing.
Is this a problem specific to this theme, or is this a problem people have run into elsewhere? I’ve heard that some themes have blocks put in place against the creation of child themes, could that be the issue?
