creating child theme is driving me insane!

I can see the child theme is activated, but the stylesheet style.css cannot be found.

Are you sure you uploaded your stylesheet to the correct folder?

Can you post the child theme stylesheet header.

Hi Keesiemeijer,

Thanks for your speedy reply.

The stylesheet – style.css – is inside wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child

The stylesheet code is:

[ Moderator Note: Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button. ]

/*
Theme Name:     Twenty Twelve Child
Theme URI:      https://example.com/
Description:    Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme
Author:         Your name here
Author URI:     https://example.com/about/
Template:       twentytwelve
Version:        0.1.0
*/
@import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");

.site-title a {
    color: #009900;
}

Any ideas would be gratefully received. This is driving me daft.

Thanks.

That looks correct to me but try this one from Quirm.net and add your .site-title styling to the bottom of that one just as a test.

Hi Jan,

Many thanks for that. Most kind.

I’ve used the Quirm code in my stylesheet:

/*
Theme Name:Twenty Twelve Child
Version: 1.0
Theme URI: https://quirm.net/themes
Description: A basic starter child theme for Twenty Twelve
Author: Mel Pedley
Author URI: https://blackwidows.co.uk
Template: twentytwelve
License: GNU General Public License v2
License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/

. . . 

/* Import layout */
@import url(../twentytwelve/style.css);

But I’m still getting the default css styling when I view the page:

https://wm-johnston.co.uk/wordpress123/

I’ve updated the file and get ‘File edited successfully’.

I must be doing something really stupid – but I can’t see what it is.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorry – only just spotted the Moderator note about posting code.

Will do so in future.

Don’t worry about the code, at least you didn’t post 1,500 lines. ??

The problem is a permission issue. The child theme style.css is not readable.

https://wm-johnston.co.uk/wordpress123/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/style.css?ver=3.5.1

Check your file/directory permissions, I think that once that is corrected it will all sort itself out.

Brilliant!

I’d never have spotted that.

All sorted now.

Can’t thank you enough.

You’re welcome, glad to help. ??
