  • Can you post the contents of your child theme’s style.css to Pastebin and post the link here? One thing to check is the Template: line in your child theme’s stylesheet; it needs to contain the name of the folder of the parent theme, and capitalization matters. It should probably be

    Template: mystile

    The problem is (likely) with line 7:

    Template: Mystile

    should be

    Template: mystile

    That line needs to contain the name of the folder where the parent theme is located, and capitalization matters.

    This isn’t related to your main problem, but it’s not necessary to copy the entire contents of the parent theme’s stylesheet into your child theme’s stylesheet. Instead, you should only copy the parts that you actually need to change.

    That’s what it was. I changed it and it worked perfectly. Thanks a lot. If you have another minute there was another question I had about my site. The header and footer are extending across my whole page instead of in a boxed layout. I can’t tell where in the code this is happening.
    website URL is athleteindustries.com

    As I don’t have access to your parent theme, I’m not sure exactly how it loads its stylesheets. Your best bet would be to speak with your theme’s vendors.
