    I have installed the Life Is Good theme. The parent theme installs and seems to work fine. It installed to life-is-good on my FTP. To make a child theme, as instructed on this page, I created a new theme folder and named it life-is-good-child, uploaded files functions.php and a style.css to the folder. The text from my .css is as follows

    /*
 Theme Name:   Life Is Good Child
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/Life-Is-Good-child/
 Description:  Life Is Good Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     Life Is Good
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         one column
 Text Domain:  Life-Is-Good-child
*/

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

    When I reload the theme function in my dashboard I get the following message: The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description
    Life Is Good Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Life Is Good” parent theme.

    Can someone look over my .css text and tell me if I have an error that I’m overlooking? I’m quite frustrated and I’ve tried to uninstall both and even rewrote the .css text from scratch hoping I would fix an error I didn’t notice, to no avail. I know this has to be a simple fix, but I’m just not seeing the error. Help! lol My site – gypsysjourneys.com

    Got it. Needed to change Template line in .css to the following. Error on my part.

    /*
 Theme Name:   Life Is Good Child
 Theme URI:    http://example.com/Life-Is-Good-child/
 Description:  Life Is Good Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe

    Hi Gypsyjourneys,
    Glad that you figure it out! I have a premium version of this theme available which includes a full documentation and premade child theme. More features hopefully soon. I sell it over at Creative Market for just $9 (https://creativemarket.com/kLOsk/87921-Life-Is-Good-WordPress-Blog-Theme). Let me know if you have further issues and I’m glad to help, also with the free version 🙂
