Child theme doesn't work

    I’m using the Modality theme and my problem is that the child theme I created is not working. It’s not getting any of the style.css. I’ve used two different tutorials with the same result- no style. Is this theme just not child theme friendly? (I will seriously cry, the hours I’ve put into it…) I had no problems with my last theme’s child theme.

    Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! (I’ve tried emailing the theme people and have had no response…)

    Thanks ??

    Here’s what the child theme is calling when I ‘live preview’ it – https://www.liveloveguitar.com/broken-child-theme-screen-shot/

    Try this in your child theme’s style.css file:

    @import url('../modality/style.css');

    Make it the first line after the style.css file’s header stuff, so:

    /*
Theme Name: Live Love Guitar
Theme URI: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/modality/
Description: Live Love Guitar custom child theme.
Author: llgchristy
Author URI: https://www.liveloveguitar.com/
Template: modality
Version: 2.0
Tags: custom
*/

@import url('../modality/style.css');

    Followed by the rest of your custom CSS.

    The error was me! I spelled ‘functions’ wrong! I missed the c. Works fine now ??
