    Hi All,

    I have my child theme CSS file for twentyten set up like this:

    /*
    Theme Name: 2010 Child Theme
    Theme URI: URI to your theme
    Description: 2010 Child theme
    Author: Rich Palese
    Version: 0.0.1
    Template: twentyten
    Tags: two-columns, right-sidebar, custom-header, custom-colors, custom-background, custom-menu, theme-options, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style
    */

    The CSS file is saved in ‘C:\wamp\www\wp-content\themes\Child Theme’ and the stock twentyten theme folder is in the ‘…\themes’ folder as well.

    I’ve searched the forums and can’t figure out why I’m getting the stylesheet error.. PLEASE HELP!

    Thanks!

    You may need to import the style sheet from the parent theme (twentyten). Give this a try:

    /*
    Theme Name: 2010 Child Theme
    Theme URI: URI to your theme
    Description: 2010 Child theme
    Author: Rich Palese
    Version: 0.0.1
    Template: twentyten
    Tags: two-columns, right-sidebar, custom-header, custom-colors, custom-background, custom-menu, theme-options, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style
    */

    @import url(“../twentyten/style.css”);

    Thanks for the response…

    I added in the @input line and am still getting the error. I really can’t figure this out and it’s driving me crazy!

    I know this sounds crazy, but just because it’s on wamp and windows, (and because when I duplicate and test your child theme on a linux server it seems to work fine) try making sure that your theme directory name and your theme name in the child theme style sheet match exactly, right down to letter case. Just for testing purposes, try changing the theme name (you might also try removing spaces in the directory name) in the style sheet to;

    Theme Name: Child Theme

    I don’t know if that will make any difference, but it’s something to try.

    Thanks again for helping, I really appreciate it…

    I’ve now changed the Theme Name in the css file to match the theme name in the folder and it still isn’t working.

    Not sure what to do at this point, I’ve troubleshooted every possible way based on what I’ve read about this issue.

    have you tried to use

    /wp-content/themes/childtheme/style.css

    for the child theme folder and stylesheet?

    OH MY GOD

    That worked. Thank you so much, I was about to toss my laptop out the window.

    Thanks to you both!!
