Shop Isle Child Theme

  • I am trying to add my new child theme and keep getting the following error.
    The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Shop Isle” parent theme

    Have searched for answers and found most of the time is the incorrect template or filing of the child theme. I have also reinstalled the parent theme in case there was an error somewhere.

    Here is my style.css content;
    /*
    Theme Name: Shop Isle-child
    Theme URI: https://themeisle.com/themes/shop-isle/
    Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
    Author: ThemeIsle
    URI: https://themeisle.com
    Template: Shop Isle
    Text Domain: shop-isle
    Version: 0.1
    */

    Here is the Shop Isle theme style.css content;

    /*
    Theme Name: Shop Isle
    Theme URI: https://themeisle.com/themes/shop-isle/
    Author: Themeisle

    I have tried it with and without the Text Domain included.

    Folder for Parent theme is;
    Wordpress/content/themes/shop-isle

    Folder for child is
    Wordpress/content/themes/shop-isle-child

    Any ideas?

  • Hi timmoz,

    In your child style.css, you need to use Template: shop-isle (you have written “Shop Isle”). It will fix your issue.

    Solved. Thank you so much!
    I had read that it must be written exactly as per the Parent theme name which is actually written “Shop Isle”.. confusing…
    Thanks again
