You need to access your website via SSH, FTP or your hosts panel software. People seem most comfortable with FTP. A good client to use is FileZilla:

Once you’ve read that page and downloaded the software, you need to navigate to your hosting environment and correct your error in that file.

You’re failing to import the parent’s stylesheet. You have left this line:

@import url("../divi/style.css");

It should be a capital D.

Did you change the @import line too, as in making Divi start with a capital?

If you have the template and the import both starting with a capital D and the child-theme is mis-behaving, we’ve hit a brick wall in these forums. Since your theme is a commercial one, nobody here can see the templates to advise you. You’d have to take it up with Elegant Themes.

If you activate the child-theme I’ll still take a look though.

If all you’re doing is importing the CSS rules from the parent, it shouldn’t really change anything? Did you change the @import line too, as in making Divi start with a capital?

You may not be used to the *nix world. A D and a d are completely different things 🙂

Use Template: Divi

I think it’s the capitalisation.

A text editor. A very good one is Sublime Text:

The most likely explanation is that your file permissions are set incorrectly. There’s an explanatory Codex article about just that:

You need to create the directory inside your WordPress root folder under:

wp-content/themes/<your child theme>
