 * Parent theme missing error. I’ve tried using all lowercase and nothing’s working.
   Here’s my style.css
 * /*
    Theme Name: customchild Theme URI: [http://www.themekraft.com](http://www.themekraft.com)
   Description: child theme for the custom-community theme Author: waves music therapy
   Template: custom-community */
 * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../customcommunity/
   style.css”);

 * The Template header needs to be the same as the folder name of the parent theme—
   so either “customcommunity” or “custom-community” is correct, but it can’t be
   both.

 * I’ve tried that too. Doesn’t work. I’ve tried every combo.

 * **Edit**: It should be this theme BTW.

 * Can you confirm that the parent theme is located in `themes/custom-community`?
   if it is you should able to activate it in the WordPress dashboard.
 * if you can activate the parent, then try with the child theme with a “-” and 
   put this in `wp-content/themes/custom-community-child/style.css`
 * Make sure you activate the the called “Community Child Theme” in your dashboard.
