child theme

When creating a chlidtheme you only need one file which is Style.css. In addition, add a copy of the screenshot.png file from the parent to chlidtheme folder.

Does your child theme’s stylesheet have the line:

Template: gridster-lite

Your child theme needs that line so WordPress knows what parent theme to use.

Thanks for your reply. Yes the line in the code does say gridster-lite, this is the code in the style.css so far :

/*---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Theme Name: Gridster-lite Child
	Template: gridster-lite

*/

@import url(“../gridster-lite/style.css");

.tagline {
	margin-left:15px;
	margin-right:1px;
	font-size: 12px;
	line-height:15px;
	padding-bottom:15px;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #272F34;
	box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #4B6272;
}

The .tagline is the alteration I want to make.

Activating this child theme looks like a Word document is my new site, nothing of the original theme is included in the child theme.

Is there something wrong with the child css code?

You have a curly quote in your @import line. Unfortunatley, you can’t use curly quotes in CSS, you need to use straight quotes like this:

@import url("../gridster-lite/style.css");

Such a small change! Thanks, this works like a charm ??
