 * Hi All,
 * I’ve been reading through forums here addressing the same issue, and trying to
   fix this problem literally all day and just can’t get it!
 * My goal is to make a Child theme of the theme Unsigned by woothemes. I’m hosted
   by ipower.com, filezilla is my ftp server, and I’m doing ccs in Textwrangler.
   My style.css file currently looks like this:
 * /*
    Theme Name: Unsigned Child Description: Child theme for the unsigned theme
   Author: K Eresman Template: unsigned */
 * It’s saved as a WIndows CLRF instead of Unix LR since I read that would do it,
   but it did nothing. I tried capitalizing the Template name- nothing.
 * I just downloaded filezilla today, and just learned what FTP is today. I’m completely
   new to this. But despite my extended research and attempts today, I’ve gotten
   nowhere!
 * If anyone can alleviate my pain with a solution, I would be eternally grateful!

 * What is your URL?
 * And have you tried using a different code editor?
 * I use Notepad++ and used the exact code you provided and the child theme showed
   up for me.

 * The URL is strangewave.net/blog As of now the site is only set up with the default
   theme layout.
 * I was using TextEditor, then read about Textwrangler and tried that. I will give
   Notepad++ a try and let you know the results. Thank you for the input!

 * Ahh, I cannot use Notepad++ because I am on a Mac. (Sorry for leaving out that
   info.)
 * Any other suggestions?

 * Just try any other code editor that works with a Mac. Also, are you having FileZilla
   manage the type of file automatically?
