installing child theme

  • I’ve tried installing A child theme with the parent bp-default theme in buddypress per https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/….I’ve gone through ALL the steps per the instructions but DO NOT see the child theme In the WordPress admin area > Appearance > Themes But, the two most important items ARE there….

    Template: bp-default – this tells WordPress that we want to use the BuddyPress default theme (bp-default) as the parent theme, and inherit all templates from it.
    Tags: buddypress – this tells BuddyPress that you are using a BuddyPress-compatible theme so it won’t nag you in the admin area.

    Im not sure i did this right, being that i just copied the code onto a note pad and place it in the css file and saved…

    what did i do wrong being that the chlid theme did NOT show up under appearance/ themes area?
