• I have Cygnus from ThemeForest installed.

    The Cygnus theme folder is named “cygnus”.

    I created a child theme with the following style.css:

    /*
    Theme Name: Secure2Go
    Version: 1.0
    Template: cygnus
    */
    @import url(‘../cygnus/style.css’);

    #logo img {
    width: auto;
    height: 54px;
    }
    #bottom-wrapper, a.more-link, .post-type, .button.green {
    background: #89CFF8;
    url(none);
    }
    a:link, a:visited, a:active {
    color: #89CFF8;
    }
    .special-title h1 span, .special-title h2 span, .special-title h3 span, .special-title h4 span, .special-title h5 span, .special-title h6 span {
    border-bottom: 4px solid #89CFF8;
    }
    .link-more, li.link-more {
    border-bottom: 5px solid #89CFF8;
    }

    I initially used Notepad++ to create and save this file. I saved it with ANSI encoding.

    WordPress admin appearance>themes says the child theme is broken because the parent theme is not installed.

    The parent theme *is* installed.

    I tried saving style.css in Notepad2, and Dreamweaver, and in both cases the error remains.
