Getting an error while setting up a child theme

  • Alright, I’ve been wrestling with WordPress for quite a bit now, and I now feel that it is time to ask for assistance. I’ve added style.css and functions.php in the folder the-minimal-child, and I seem to be getting an error that says:

    Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.

    Here’s what my style.css looks like at the moment:

    /*
?Theme Name: The Minimal Child
?Theme URI: https://raratheme.com/wordpress-themes/the-minimal/
?Description: The Minimal child theme
?Author:?Rara Theme
?Author URI:?https://raratheme.com/
?Template: the-minimal
?Version: 1.0.0
 License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
 License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
 Tags: Blog, footer-widgets, two-columns, right-sidebar, custom-background, custom-menu, featured-image-header, featured-images, post-formats, threaded-comments, translation-ready, full-width-template, theme-options
 Text Domain: the-minimal-child
*/

    To me, it looks like just about everything’s all good and well– but I keep getting an error. I’ve checked several articles on how to make one, and several posts in the forum, but– I got no fixes…
