In reply to: [One-Click Child Theme] Creating a child theme – stylesheet is always missingIssue solved – it was a permissions error.
Despite all folders set to 755 and all files set to 644, the plugin was unable to create new folders or files within the themes folder. I could do this manually using my FTP client (Filezilla) but the plugin wasn’t able to because it didn’t have the permission from the host. I noticed other plugins were unable to create new files or folders too. I had to contact my hosting company to fix this.
FYI it’s worth using the Ultimate Security Checker plugin to check your permissions. No files or folders should ever be left on 777 as this opens you up to hacking.
So the plugin works as it should. 4/5 stars for me. Only complaint is the lack of response from developer despite emails and tweets requesting some help.

In reply to: My child themes aren't writable under 777Thanks for alerting me to 777 risk. All folders changed to 755. I’d read that usually all other files should be 644 but you’re right that 666 is required to edit.
I find I can only install a new theme when wp-content is changed to 777. As soon as it’s 755, a theme fails to install. Is there a way to resolve this?

In reply to: [One-Click Child Theme] Creating a child theme – stylesheet is always missingWhen I go to create a child theme and it asks for the child theme name, description and author, the next screen says it’s installed but also states the following:
array(5) { [“parent_template”]=> string(6) “canvas” [“parent_theme”]=> string(6) “canvas” [“new_theme”]=> string(11) “canvaschild” [“new_theme_path”]=> string(73) “/var/www/vhosts/mydomainname.com/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/canvaschild” [“new_theme_title”]=> string(11) “canvaschild” } NULL
I should point out that I’m trying with the Canvas theme but the results are the same with any theme I try. A new folder is correctly created within the themes folder but there’s nothing inside. When I do it manually, I can create a child theme fine.
Any suggestions?
