   tho unsuccesfully. I have made a child theme before, but for this one, it seems
   like it is not loading the parent theme ( I guess ). Can you guys help me?

 * Hi, manubmxnsb. Is the parent theme folder named “rara-clean” or something else?
   The template has to be the exact name of the parent theme folder. You may have
   checked this; just making sure.
