 * Fixed that version to be the same
 * It’s not showing up yet, sometimes the server takes time to update

 * I have a different folder structure on the server I think, I was messing around
   trying different structures to see if it was that, I’ll update it when I get 
   FTP connected

 * Yeah i did post that, without noticing so I had to edit it :O
 * Sure: [http://www.amfox.eu](http://www.amfox.eu)
    it’s not as up to date with
   my latest theme attempts as I’m working mainly on a local server so only I can
   access it while I work

 * Yeah got that directory structure
 * Does it have to have the dash between flat and child? I had that before and it
   didn’t work so I removed it too see if that would make it work

 * That looks like how I have it setup
 * I have
 * wp-content/themes/flat/styles.css
 * and
 * wp-content/themes/flatchild/style.css
 * So I figured my code was wrong, I also tried it on my live web server as well
   as my localhost server and they both say the same

 * I thought that the Child themes were meant to go in their own folder? Or did 
   I miss read the guide on the Codex?

 * > Where is your Child Theme though?
 * The Child Theme is in “/var/www/wp-content/themes/flatchild”
