Header and footer template don’t show after creating a child theme

    Hello, this theme is great so far. I created a child theme of it by creating a sibling directory to the theme named “riverbank-child”, and adding in it a style.css file with this:

    /*
Theme Name: riverbank Child theme
Description: A child theme Riverbank
Template: riverbank
*/

    and a blank theme.json file (will be added to eventually). When I activate the theme, the header and footer templates don’t show on the front-end of the site, though they’re visible still in the FSE. Perhaps a function is looking for them in my child theme directory instead of the parent directory? Is this something you can reproduce? My instance of the theme is completely unedited. Thanks

    FYI I’ve created child themes for other themes in this installation, and the header/footer show as expected

    Hello @ivndrs,

    Thank you for using Riverbank!

    Creating a child theme to an FSE theme is not recommended for now as the procedure is different than for a classic theme, so we can’t provide a solution to your issue.

    If you want to add additional CSS to your theme, you can do that by following this documentation.

    I hope this will help you!

    Best regards,

    Irinel
