    Hello,
    I am in the beginning phase of creating a website and am very new to all of this. I am trying to create a child theme but I think I may have something wrong in the coding since it isn’t working.

    Can someone please take a look?
    Website is https://www.newbieparent.com

    Here is the code in my child theme:
    /*
    Theme Name: ColorWay Theme Child Theme
    URI: https://www.newbieparent.com/
    Description: Child Theme for ColorWay Theme
    Author: Meghan Collier
    Author URI: https://www.newbieparent.com/
    Template: colorway
    Version: 3.3.3
    */
    @import url(“../colorway/style.css”);

    Thank you!

  • The child theme’s style.css file looks fine. Did you activate the child theme by going to Appearance → Themes and clicking the Activate button for your child theme? And you created a functions.php file?

    No – thank you! I didn’t know I needed to do that. I activated it now and yes, I did create a functions.php file as well. I think that is what I needed for now. Thanks again ??
