Child theme not importing parents theme

  • I have been working for several days trying to get a child theme to function properly. I followed all the proper procedures and created the child style.css file. When I switch themes over to the child and view the source code, I can see that my child theme is being used. However the formatting I made using the parent theme is no longer present. All the changes I made to the colors and menus seem to be back to the default. So it appears my import statement is not working. I will depict all this with screen shots below:
    The name of my website is goodolddayscountryshop.com/WPstore/
    Well, ok, I made all these screenshots but apparently I cant show them in this texteditor. But believe me, the formatting I made in my parent theme is all gone when I use my child theme.
    here is the code of the child theme which is in the storefront-child directory.
    /*
    Theme Name: Storefront Child Theme
    Theme URI: https://www.goodolddayscountryshop/com/WPstore/
    Description: Storefront Child Theme
    Author: John OBrien
    Author URI:
    Template: storefront
    Version: 1.0.0
    */
    @import url(‘../storefront/style.css’);

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

    Please help with this problem. I have been all over the forums and cannot find out why this is not working.
    Thank-you

    In case anybody in support is listening…..
    I also wanted to modify my footer. To test out the change, I modified the code in the appropriate footer.php file and it worked. So I copied the file and it’s structure to my child theme and activated it. Guess what, the change is no longer present.
    I hope maybe that ads some insights into what may be happening with my child theme.
    I am really losing a lot of development time. Can somebody please look into this problem?
    Thank-you

    You may get a response from the theme developer or other users if you post on the forum specific to this theme: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/storefront

    Since this seems to be wordpress specific and not specific to the theme, I thought it would be best to place here. But what the heck, I will try posting there as well. Perhaps it will get some attention. Thanks for the suggestion.
