Error message: this child theme requires its parent theme…

  • So I’ve activated a new child theme as per the super simple code/instructions I find via my lynda.com subscription and the www.ads-software.com site, but I keep getting the “…requires its parent…” message in the manage themes dashboard, ARGH!

    That said I AM able to import and view the parent theme styles, so SOMETHING appears to be working. Suggestions, directions much appreciated.

    Yeah, and you’re not the first person to find that perplexing :). Sorry you got sidelined by it.

    Another line of text in WP can help users to not confused with this:

    This child theme requires its parent theme. Do not remove TwentyTwelve from your themes directory
