When I visit the site on an Android device, all of the menu items appear permanently below the menu icon.

When I switch away from my child theme to the Olsen Light theme, the menu comes up as an overlay, but my other modifications are lost.

Any recommendations into how to fix my child theme?

Thanks!

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.

I know there are lots of articles on Child Themes broken but I can’t seem to find what’s causing the issue on mine.

Basic Information:-
– Theme Name:- KOI Theme
– Child Theme:- KOI Child Theme (This child theme was provided in the theme package so I’m using the default Child Theme unaltered.)
– Website is located in a subdomain.

Issue:-
– When parent theme is activated the website works.
– When child theme is activated the website is broken.

So 2 days ago I had activated the child theme and made some modifications as per the client’s requirements and the website was working fine after the alterations. After 2 days when I checked the website it was broken, I didn’t edit the website in the past 2 days and I’m the only one who has access.

Solutions Tried:-
– Deleted the modified Child Theme and uploaded the default child theme without any alterations and still the website is broken.
– Under Customize > CSS, I had added some custom css codes, I deleted those too. No luck.
– Tried the website in different browsers. No luck.

I am attempting to build a child theme from ‘twentyten’ for a customer. However, I keep getting an error. I haven’t had much issue in the past, so I am confused. I use this link https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes to build the folder.

I created a folder in my themes directory so it looks like this:

/themes
../twentyten
../twentyten-child

As per the intructions, I added exactly as suggested, a single style.css file, that looks like this:

/*
 Theme Name:   twentyten-child
 Description:  Twenty Ten Child Theme
 Author:       Victoria Kariolic
 Template:     twentyten
*/

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

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

However, when I go to the themes directory after upload:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

Name	Description
twentyten-child Description: Twenty Ten Child Theme Author: Victoria Kariolic Template: twentyten	Template is missing.

According to the article, I only need the CSS… can someone tell me what may be broken here and how I can fix it?

Steps I have taken
Tried deleting custom styles in case there was something broken there.
This returned no change in error.

Added an Index.php from Twentyten.
This created a BLANK theme. Nothing showed, no content.

Added Custom Header
This also had no effect even when combined with index.php NOTE: I just needed one small change to twentyten header so I copied entire file to child theme, I do not see where I would need to make adjustments to return to the parent theme files.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thank you,
nia

ps.
Currently, I have adjusted the original files to allow the customer to have the adjustments now while I figure out the issues. I am working at https://knowyourthyroid.com

Hello

If re-posting this causes anyone any problem, I apologize in advance but the thing is I am launching my website in less than three days and my child theme has gone bust.

If you have already read the following message that I posted yesterday, please note that I have left the (problem) child theme activated and you can witness the problem on septillions.com.

If this is the first time you are reading my post, below is the CTRL-C CTRL-V version. Oh, and if you need the see the screenshots, here is the problem Here is the link to the screenshot: https://tinypic.com/r/531ezt/8 and here is how it should be: https://tinypic.com/r/othf6p/8

Hello

I am launching my website on April 23. I bought a theme few weeks ago and have been customizing it offline using server press until I was satisfied. Then I got hosting yesterday and set up everything. I felt it would take me minutes to set everything up. Boy, was I wrong!

I have done all the customization using the child theme. When I view it using ‘View Site’ function, the fonts and everything else blows out of proportion and when I scroll down, the page ends halfway through. As if the page size is the same but since everything is way too large, I can’t see the remaining content.

When I activate parent theme, everything appears ok. But when I activate the child theme ….. This is frustrating.

My guess is that I may not have configured / installed the child theme properly but if that was the case, it wouldn’t have been detected in the first place. My guess is strengthened by the fact that initially WordPress couldn’t detect it and then I had to change the following line in style.css

Template: Upstart

to

Template: upstart

basically changing the name to lower case. Then, the theme was detected and I was able to activate it.

Right now my style.css looks like this:

/*
Theme Name: Upstart Child
Theme URI: https://septillions.com/Upstart-child/
Description: Upstart Child Theme
Author: Jawwad Daud
Author URI: https://septillions.com
Template: upstart
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
Text Domain: Upstart-child
*/

@import url(“../Upstart/style.css”);

/* =Theme customization starts here
————————————————————– */

I have put a countdown timer on my website. As I write these lines, it says 4 Days 0 Hours, 59 Minutes, 0 Seconds.

Am I not justified in freaking out?!?

Thanks.

I am trying to add a child theme to an exiting theme in a multisite environment. When I went My Sites –> Network Admin –> Dashboard –> Themes to activate it, then to the my site to enable it, I lost access to my site and the admin console (with the WSOD).

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening and how to fix/prevent it?

I was only able to bring it back up after going into the DB files and revert back to the parent theme.

Thanks.

Thanks in advance!

Whenever I try to follow the instructions for setting up a child theme on my site, it breaks my site.

I took a screen cap of the problem:
https://screencast.com/t/ew4Bp1NYWFw

Basically, just as you can see from that link, whenever I activate the child theme it messes up all of the formatting of my site. I’m writing the rules just as it says in all of the tutorials. And it’s not the styling that’s causing it because I can delete the style rules and it still doesn’t work whenever I activate the child theme.

Been trying to figure this out forever.
