I even used another form of FTP to check the Web Server and the child directory is still missing. * I’m totally dumbfounded by the whole thing. As I said above I think it might be invisible, since it is running. But what the heck??????? * Have any ideas about what I should do next? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Child Theme file disappeared!

The theme **/twentyten-child/** is in the Dashboard/Appearances/Themes. * It is running, but, the folder ** directory / style.css / functions.php** are missing from the **/themes folder/** and are no longer seen on the Web server via the FTP. * The parent **/twentyten/** is there in the **/themes folder/** * **/twentyten-child/** itself is gone. * Not sure how the **/twentyten-child/** is running when the folder and everything is gone from the **/Themes/** folder. * I don’t think I want to write on the **/style.css/functions.php/** in the Appearances Editor when the directory and the css and php are invisible. * This looks like a foreseeable problem to me if I start to use the CSS when there is no folder seen on the Web Server. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Child Theme file disappeared!

I went to the Dashboard chose Appearance/Themes to activate it and couldn’t find it.
