 * Hello, I’ve been trying to install a child theme for Mimbo 3.0 and been having
   a horrible time at it. As far as I know, all my code for the child theme is correct,
   but WP still won’t recognize my child theme. The child theme is displayed under
   the “Broken Themes” section with the error message of “Template is missing.”
 * Can anyone help with this? Here is my style.css for the child theme, which is
   placed in a folder called mimbokid in my themes directory:
 * /*
 * Theme Name: mimbokid
 * Theme URI: [http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2009/01/30/mimbo-30-released/](http://www.darrenhoyt.com/2009/01/30/mimbo-30-released/)
 * Description: Child Theme for Mimbo
 * Author: Meghan

 * Template: mimbo

 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../mimbo/style.css”);
 * body {
 * background: #665599;
 * }
 * Thanks very much!

 * Do you have the Mimbo theme installed under the /mimbo folder?
