Title: Templates is missing Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Templates is missing * [Ypanesa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ypanesa/) * (@ypanesa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/) * Since I startet my new website with customizr, I only get the error message, that the theme needs a stylesheet and a template. I downloaded the theme the normal way from the backend and directly from your website. I did that several times. This is the error message on the themes page. Even my hoster played arround and could not resolve the problem. Would you please help? * Beschädigte Themes Die folgenden Themes sind installiert, aber nicht vollständig. Themes müssen ein Stylesheet und ein Template haben. Name Beschreibung Customizr Child Das Übergeordnete Theme fehlt. Bitte installiere das übergeordnete Theme“ Customizr”, da du Child-Themes sonst nicht nutzen kannst.

In that case, do you have the parent Customizr theme installed? * Thread Starter [Ypanesa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ypanesa/) * (@ypanesa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/#post-4442160) * I just copied the child theme in the folder, that’s why it shows up. I could delete it. I restartet several times without a child theme. I install the customizr theme and get the error message. Of course I installed the parent theme. But you can not activate it, if there is something missing. Same for the child theme of course. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/#post-4442161) * Where is the child theme installed? In which folder? What is the code in the child theme style.css file? And please post a link to your site. * Thread Starter [Ypanesa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ypanesa/) * (@ypanesa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/#post-4442163) * It is in the folder “themes”. There are 3 definitions in the css concerning titles. Let me restart once again. I delete the customizr theme, and the child theme and download it again, without child. * Everything worked so fine on my local computer. Then I uploaded the site in a subfolder. Later on I wanted to copy it one level higher and the problems started. It seems that customizr don’t let me change the path from the subfolder to the mainfolder. The logo was missing for example. * The URL is [http://der-tut-nichts.info/](http://der-tut-nichts.info/) * Thread Starter [Ypanesa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ypanesa/) * (@ypanesa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/#post-4442164) * Ok, it as activated one again.

I did everything like described, exept… I forgot the menu. So I try again with the child theme. * Thread Starter [Ypanesa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ypanesa/) * (@ypanesa) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/#post-4442168) * OK, it is the child theme that’s missing something. What files will I need fot the child? I changed some title sizes and added a text-indent for the h1 title. I did that in the WP backend, but I prefere a child theme. So now I made a new folder in the themes folder and I uploaded a style.css and a picture for the child theme. And I get the error again. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/templates-is-missing/#post-4442169) * What is in the child theme style.css file?
