    I have tried creating a child team to Twenty Fourteen. The theme is called twentyfourteen-child, and it is in C:\Users\Admin\Documents\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes beside the original twentyfourteen theme. Within the child theme folder there is a style.css with the following code:

    @charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */

/*
 Theme Name:   twentyfourteen-child
 Description:  Twenty Fourteen Child Theme
 Author:       Dan
 Author URI:   localhost
 Template:     twentyfourteen
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
 Text Domain:  twenty-fourteen-child
*/

@import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");

/*theme customization starts
------------*/

    The message I received in admin is: The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description
    twentyfourteen-child Stylesheet is missing.

    I have read numerous posts and tried several things including copying the original styles and pasting them into the customization area on the new sheet. Nothing seems to be working, I keep getting the same broken theme message. Please help

    Open the child’s style.css file in Notepad and try re-saving it.

    I opened it, resaved it, there was no change.

    So, is that the only solution there is? I’ve opened it, re-created it, re-saved it, tried different settings in the file, even uploaded to a live server instead of wamp and it still says stylesheet is missing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    nevermind, after days of frustration and headache, the stylesheet in the child team was called “styles” and not “style”. just goes to reinforce that is usually a syntax error.
