QUESTION: Do I need to include the entire URL in the anchor tag, or can I get away with just the name of the anchor? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/page/2/#post-3306801) * I would be grateful if you did, Rev, because it drove me nuts. I need to learn what I did wrong before I try this in the future. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/page/2/#post-3306788) * YOU DID IT, leejosepho! I followed your advice, made my own slight modification, and I have a working child theme now! Stripping down the header is what did it for me. There are a few things in it I need to clean up, but I couldn’t care less about that. * SINCERCEST GRATITUDE TO YOU ALL. WP IS THE BEST, and it’s this community that makes it so! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/#post-3306778) * Yes. In all, it lists three themes as being broken. For the first two, WP says“ Template is missing,” which I suspect means the themes in question have been taken down. It then lists my attempted child theme, `twentytwelve-child`, as a broken theme, saying “Stylesheet is missing.” The struggle has been to find a way to make WP “see” the style.css file that was uploaded via FTP to the `wp- content/themes/twentytwelve-child/css` folder. So far, nothing has worked. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/#post-3306774) * Still no joy. I uploaded the style.css file via FTP into wp-content/themes/twentytwelve- child. I had indeed made the mistake of failing originally to save it as a .css file, but have since fixed that. Still, WP says “Stylesheet is missing.” * When I look on the FTP directory of wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/style. css via GoDaddy, it lists the stylesheet name as `twentytwelve:style.css`. Could this cauise a problem? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/#post-3306768) * That may be the answer, Rev. I created the file in Smultron, but didn’t give it a .css extension. What kind of name should I give this file when I save it? I tried saving it just now as `style.css`, and when I uploaded it, FTP listed it as a stylesheet (something I should have noticed before). But WP still isn’t seeing it. * Both the folder and filename are twentytwelve-child, so I think that should be okay. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/#post-3306752) * Should I delete the old version and upload a new one with the space deleted? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/#post-3306751) * [@wpyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/)…just did that. No joy. WP still says “Broken link…Stylesheet is missing.” Clearly, I’m doing something wrong, but I don’t know what. Is it that a child theme won’t accept a pre-existing stylesheet? Should I delete the old version and upload a new one with the space deleted? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Twenty Twelve child theme broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/) * Thread Starter [IBIT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ibit/) * (@ibit) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-twelve-child-theme-broken/#post-3306747) * First, much respect and thanks to you both. Second, I actually find your answer easier to deal with than Rev. Voodoo’s (I always was the counter-intuitive sort). I think I’m close to resolving this, with both your help. Anyway, below is what I uploaded to the twentytwelve-child folder I created. If someone can show/tell me the error(s), I think I can make this work. The stylesheet is derived from the CSS I first created for the template BEFORE trying to create the child theme: * _[ Moderator Note: [Please post code](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code) or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. ]_ * ``` /* Theme Name:Twenty Twelve Child Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/twentytwelve Description: IBIT customized Twenty Twelve template Author: Greg Gross Author URI: http://imblacknitravel.com/about/ Template: twentytwelve Version: 0.1.0 */ @import url ("../twentytwelve/style.css"); #site-title a { color: #009900; } /* Welcome to Custom CSS!
