Child Theme (fashionista)- HELP!

  • I am brand new to WordPress and trying to figure out how in the world to make a child theme, so I can make changes to the Fashionistas theme which I really like.

    My website is https://www.pinesandpalmettos.com and I use Bluehost.

    I found the wp-content/themes in my cPanel on Bluehost, and uploaded the following code (made in Notepad & saved as .css).

    /*
    Theme Name: Fashionistas Child
    Theme URI: https://pinesandpalmettos.com/fashionistas-child/
    Description: Fashionistas Child Theme
    Author: pinesandpalmettos
    Author URI: https://pinesandpalmettos.com
    Template: fashionistas
    Version: 1.2
    Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
    Text Domain: fashionistas
    */

    But whenever I go to Appearance>Themes, at the bottom of the page it says
    “Broken Themes
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name / Description
    fashionista-child01 Stylesheet is missing”

    I don’t know if it has something to do with the .php thing (because I’m not sure I’m doing that correctly either). Could anyone please help walk me through this? I keep reading about how easy it is to make a child theme but I am really not getting it. Thanks in advance!

  • Did you follow this?

    You need a functions.php file in your child theme.

    But right now it appears you have a child theme active on your site, no? Using a plugin?

    I couldn’t understand that article.

    But yep, after a day and a half of googling+asking on twitter+contacting Bluehost…I finally figured out that there is a plug-in that makes child themes. So, I did that. Much easier.

    Now I just need to figure out how to change my font size and link colors, then I’ll be about set!

    Thanks for responding.
