Figured it out – I had somehow altered the .css of the parent theme so once I re-installed that is all good again. Thanks.

Ok thanks, I thought so but I am having no luck with creating a child theme so I was hoping I could get away without it…

I am following instructions on a couple of blogs and creating a new directory and then creating a new style.css file which contains this:

/*
Theme Name: Emphaino-child
Description: A Child Theme of Emphaino
Template: emphaino
*/
@import url(../emphaino/style.css);

When I activate the child theme what I get is not at all like the parent theme, I have some of my posts and pages but the layout, colours etc is completely wrong.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
