show us the code in your child’s style.css file (use the backticks character as outlined below to display it here)

do you have any whitespace before this chunk of code? it all looks right…
how did you upload the child theme?
no there’s no white space
i uploaded it via the webftp option from my web host. i think the problem has something to do with this.
in that case, on your local computer make your shiny new child theme’s folder a .zip file and install it using the wordpress theme installer and see if that works.
oh, delete the one that’s already on the server first though!
ok, i’ll try that. just paste the code in notepad and save in a folder then upload?
yeah, the compress the folder to a .zip file and the in your site dashboard just go to appearance -> themes -> upload and navigate to the .zip file on your computer and then is should find it and install it. then just activate it as normal.
no joy, got the following
Installing Theme from uploaded file: twentytenbabe.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
Theme installed successfully.

are you saving the file in notepad with no formatting or rich-text stuff? it has to be in plain boring text and the file needs to be called style.css
send me an email and i’ll create one for you to try and upload: support at ryzar dot com
