Child Theme Troubleshoot

    Using WP 4.0. Using the Moviescope theme (version 1.4) created by mad_velikorodnov and sold by EnvatoStudio/Themeforest

    So for some reason, I can’t get a childtheme uploaded to my WP site: https://www.62tigers.com

    1) I’ve tried creating it with my text editor, turning it into a ZIP, and uploading directly to my WordPress Dashboard. 2) I’ve tried using an FTP client and uploading it directly to the Godaddy Hosting server. 3) I’ve tried creating the Child Theme directly on the Godaddy Server. 4) Each of these times, I was careful to make sure there weren’t any unnecessary subfolders. Here’s what I’ve got

    moviescope-child (Folder)–>style.css (file)

    Here’s what it say’s on the Child CSS:

    /*
    Template: moviescope
    */
    @import url(“../moviescope/style.css”);

    I’d usually write more of a descitption, but I’ve skipped to the basics just to see if I can get it working.

    Any suggestions? I’m so annoyed for getting the same “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.” on the WordPress Dashboard.

    thank you for your help!

  • Sorry, but you’re using a premium/paid theme. It’s best to go to the support site where you bought the theme – https://themeforest.net/ – for help with customizations and issues. They will tell you any other details needed to create a child theme.

    You paid for support when you bought the theme, so you should contact the people who sold you the theme. These forums are for themes available in the WordPress theme directory at www.ads-software.com/themes/. See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products

    Your best option is to ask the theme provider if this Commercial Theme actually supports a Child Theme. Many, unfortunately do not. Some, have additional requirements beyond the scope of this forum and we cannot study each of these themes not following the rules annotated here (Specifically as we do not have FREE access to them). Have you presented this inquiry to them?
