 * Hi, I just create a child theme for twentyseventeen theme and after that I find
   a theme in themes and activate, but my website is not the same like parent twentyseventeen,
   there is no css, i can see html and twentyseventeen default header image. Today
   is my first time that I’m creating a child theme and I decide to use twentyseventeen
   theme for that, but I have problem, I follow all instructions on youtube but…:/
 * There is a one problem more. In my themes folder, I can’t see my twentyseventeen
   original theme.
 * What is the problem, where I made mistake?

 * Sounds like twenty seventeen isn’t installed. You can install it under Appearance
   → Themes in your wp-admin by clicking add new to the right of the title and searching
   for it.
 * Hope this helps. Once you find a solution that works please tag the thread as
   resolved.
