    Thank you for your help. I was able to figure it out. The plugin was very user friendly and helped to make a child theme easily. I also learned to put the following code in the header.php:

    <?php
    echo do_shortcode(“[metaslider id=43 restrict_to=home]”);
    ?>

    Worked like a charm. Thank you for your patience. It was certainly a process.

    I found the one-click child theme plugin and tried it. I labeled it formation-child2. Do you think this will work?

    Should I go back to the formation-child theme and try what you mentioned above?

    I deactivated the WP Super Cache too.

    I took off the under-construction page so you can see the website.

    I keep checking the files and they are in text format and I keep searching to see if I typed something wrong but it’s all there.

    I believe I have set up the settings the same way as I did with the original formation theme. I also emptied the cache in Chrome and activated a WP Super Cache plugin to clear the cache in WP. Unfortunately, there is no change and the pages do not look the same as I originally created on the formation theme. The menu and contact bars are vertical instead of horizontal and it doesn’t look like it’s formatted correctly. The header image also remains on all of the pages.

    That was very helpful. Thank you. I made the adjustments in TextEdit and it worked. I now have a formation-child theme. However, it looks different from the standard formation theme starting point. It has my uploaded pictures etc. and the menu bar has my pages but it looks different and different from how I started. I’m not sure how to get this back to looking how I have it on the Formation theme.

    Aside from that, I also downloaded the heading.php modified it (keeping in plain text) and uploaded it to formation-child. It still didn’t work. I continue to see the header image on all of the pages.

    I used TextEdit on my Mac to create the functions and style documents. I saved them with their respective .php and .css extensions (took off the .rtf extension). I downloaded them after uploading them and they have the information that you posted above. I had cut and pasted your code. I wondered if something was transferred over with the cut and paste so I created the documents again and just transcribed what you wrote and uploaded the documents again (and deleted the older versions). I have both the style and functions documents within the formation-child theme folder in the themes folder, which is also where the formation folder is located (along with the other themes).

    When I downloaded the most recent version of the style document, this is what I see (please note: I don’t have software to view .css, so I see it via Safari):

    {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1348\cocoasubrtf170
    {\fonttbl\f0\fmodern\fcharset0 Courier;}
    {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
    \margl1440\margr1440\vieww10800\viewh8400\viewkind0
    \deftab720
    \pard\pardeftab720

    \f0\fs26 \cf0 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0
    /*\
    Theme Name: Formation-Child\
    Description: Child theme of Formation\
    Author: jodibl\
    Template: formation\
    Version: 1.0.0\
    */}

    I am still receiving the same message. Is there something that I’m missing?

    Yes, I’m using the formation theme. I also have a folder on the server that is “wp-content/themes/formation”. I added the child folder in the themes folder with the rest of the themes, including the formation parent folder. I’m not sure why I’m getting that message.

    Thank you! Unfortunately, when I went to activate the child theme, I see this message:

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description
    Formation-Child\ The parent theme is missing. Please install the “formation\” parent theme.

    I looked at a link in the instructions you referenced and it seems as though I may need to link the parent and child theme. I wasn’t sure how to do this from the instructions or where the code would go.

    I also replaced the code you gave on the parent theme to see if it worked and then changed it back to preserve the parent theme coding. Unfortunately, that didn’t work either.

    I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again.
