    Created wordpress 2013 child theme and layout is not uploading properly. the menu links are to the right and rest of the layout is off as well.

    tried multiple times but it doesn’t seem to work

    Site url is

    https://www.testswebsite.com/

    Css I used as per instructions on codex page is

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Thirteen Child
    Theme URI: https://example.com/
    Description: Child theme for the Twenty Thirteen theme
    Author: Your name here
    Author URI: https://testswebsite.com/about/
    Template: twentythirteen
    Version: 0.1.0
    */
    @import url (“../twentythirteen/style.css”)

    directory on FTP is-

    html/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen-child

    twentythirteen-child folder contains-

    screenshot.png
    style.css

    thanks in advance

  • Try removing the space between url and (... in the @import line. After you change that line, switch to another theme and then back to the child theme.

    ?? that worked!! thank you. is there any quick way to reset everything from scratch? so that it looks exactly like the parent theme without having to back and take out everything ive added?

    No, you have to redo settings/options in the child theme, if that’s what you mean. But the child theme is set up correctly now :).

    cant add pages. tried to create a new menu and nothing changes

    Try deactivating all plugins and switch back to the parent theme to see if the problem persists there.

    Also be sure you have cleared any caching on your site and browser and try another browser.

    deactivated plugins.cleared caching. Parent theme works fine. switche d back to child same issue. same on other browser.. what els could it be?

    What files are in your child theme folder? Looks like you DO have some plugins active on the site. Try deactivating them all and resetting the plugins folder by changing the name on the plugins folder to:

    wp-content
    plugins.HOLD

    i deactivate and then reactivated plugins after i tried the again. figured it out. had to check on bottom of menu options “Theme locations
    Navigation Menu” and save that everytime i switched menues. once i did that everything worked.

    thanks again for all your help
