 * Hello there,
 * I wondered if anyone could possibly help.
 * I have downloaded the theme ‘Boot-Store’, and I am trying to use my own child
   theme. However, when I activate the theme within WordPress, I lose some of the
   formatting – i.e. the text becomes aligned to the right instead of to the left,
   the full stops and exclam. marks appear to the left rather than at the end of
   sentences, and the theme loses its compatibility with older browsers.
 * The theme information in the style.css of my child theme is as follows:
 *     ```
       /* Theme Name: longleyantiques
          Theme URI: C://xampp/htdocs/longleyantiques/wp-content/themes/longleyantiques/style.css
   
       Theme Description: Based on the Boot Store Free Theme, but with a better layout
          Version: 1
          Author: Robert Young
          Author URI: http://robert.young1.org
          Template: boot-store
          Tags: grey, blue, white, ecommerce, flexible-width, responsive desigm
   
          The CSS, XHTML and design is released under GPL.
          http://www.opensource.org/licences/gpl-licence.php
   
          */
       ```
   
 * Then I have tried to import all the CSS stylesheets:
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(‘../boot-store/style.
   css’);
    [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(‘../boot-store/
   rtl.css’); [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(‘../boot-
   store/editor-style.css’); [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(‘../boot-store/css/bootstrap.css’); [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(‘../boot-store/css/bootstrap.min.css’); [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(‘../boot-store/css/ie.css’); [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(‘../boot-store/css/tcp_loop.css’); [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/)
   url(‘../boot-store/editor-style-rtl.css’);
 * Is this sufficient, or do I need to move other folders such as the ‘js’ folder
   into my child theme folder as well?
 * For now I think I will just tweak the parent themes css file and save 1 version
   as backup, until I get this to work.
 * Regards,
 * Robert
