for example, the ‘Template:’ is the folder of the parent theme, not the name…
what style.css (the top part) did you create for the child theme?
@alchymyth I will pull that up from the remote drive, so I can answer.
@alchymyth Here are my CSS header and example from the link you provided (names obscured) …

where is that style.css of the ‘ClientName’ theme stored, i.e. what is the url of that style.css?
a typical example of TwentyFifteen might be:
http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/style.css
the ‘twentyfifteen’ part of the url is what you enter as ‘Template:’ in the header of style.css of your child theme.
how does it look in your site for your style.css of the parent theme?
@alchymyth I’m not at the office, but here is what I remember, each our child themes are in their own directory (inside the WP Themes dir) named by using the theme name plus “-child” without the quotes.
In this case…
ClientName-child
Containing style.css, functions.php …
And any modified version of WP templates such as single.php
In this case, the only goal was to have a place to put the new CSS, so there are not currently any modified WP templates.
