Title: Minamaze Child Theme Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Minamaze Child Theme * [joeshmoe830](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeshmoe830/) * (@joeshmoe830) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/) * I am having issues creating a child theme for the Minamaze theme..I am new to wp so maybe I am just not understanding the directions? I set up a child theme and it seems to be linking correctly but it is overriding ALL of the parent theme styles.. I thought I linked it correctly- * /* Theme Name: Minamaze Child Author: Joeshmoe Template: minamaze Version: 0.1 Text Domain: minamaze-child */ * [@import](https://wordpress.org/support/users/import/) url(“../minamaze/style. css”); * I saved the child theme (minamaze-child) in the theme folder, I named it style. css.. Everything seems to be working but none of the parent theme styles are showing up and the slider is broken.. Any pointers?

If you’re using TextEdit, make sure it’s set to plain text mode. * Thread Starter [joeshmoe830](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeshmoe830/) * (@joeshmoe830) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/#post-5419967) * I’m using Sublime, I copied and pasted exactly what my code is in the file ^. * [stephencottontail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephencottontail/) * (@stephencottontail) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/#post-5419969) * Strange, it came up in the post as curly quotes. And if I copy and paste from the original post, it comes up as curly quotes. * What parent styles in particular are not showing up? Did you remember to recreate your slider settings when you switched to the child theme? * Thread Starter [joeshmoe830](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeshmoe830/) * (@joeshmoe830) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/#post-5420009) * Hmmm, maybe that is all that is missing, the slider is the most noticeably messed up thing, everything is displayed as li items around it. I didn’t realize I needed to recreate the slider settings when I switched over. Thank you!! Do I just style it in my css file? Or do I need to change/add some php somewhere? I’ve never made a slider before.. * [stephencottontail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephencottontail/) * (@stephencottontail) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/#post-5420019) * When you say the slider is messed up, do you mean that there are no pictures or text, or do you mean that the pictures and text are there, but they aren’t displayed correctly? When you switched to the Minamaze child theme, did you recreate your slider settings (Dashboard > Theme Options > Homepage > Homepage Slider)? * Thread Starter [joeshmoe830](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joeshmoe830/) * (@joeshmoe830) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/#post-5420066) * The are pictures and text are showing up but all of the photos are very small now(not full width anymore), the captions that were inside the pictures are now bulleted on the outside of the photos (like un-styled ul li), and there are numbers under the phitos too.. My nav bar has also lost it’s styling. Everything in the header area has been pulled to the left. The top of the page basically looks like un-styled html. The content seems to look fine, like it is still reading the Minamaze style.css file. My child theme stylesheet just seems to be overriding all of the Minamaze header styles. The child theme I created doesn’t have any styles in it yet so I’m not sure I could have broke anything there.. When you say “recreate” slider settings, what exactly do you mean? It just seems to allow me to *add more photos/captions(I have three photos I’ve added) *enable ThinkUpSlider( which is enabled) *add a custom slider *disable slider *enable full width slider( which is on) * I don’t see any other options for it. Do you mean scrap everything I’ve done and start all over? I’ll try that I guess * Thanks again 🙂 * [-fra-](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fra-2/) * (@fra-2) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/minamaze-child-theme/#post-5420194) * I’ve got exactly the same issue here.
