Nirvana Child Theme Broken

    First, I am a newbie, but have spent countless hours trying to learn and fix my own problems, but this is simply weird.

    I developed https://ctrealdeals.com on a localhost and then ftp’d using Filezilla to my host. I was using a child theme [ Nirvana-child]. On the localhost everything worked brilliantly. Once I put it on a live server, I got an error from WP

    “Broken Themes The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Name Description:
    Nirvana Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Nirvana” parent theme.

    Thereafter, I uninstalled Nirvana by deleting it. Then reinstalled it. Still not working.
    Under the File Manager in Cpanel the file is there with an independant style.css file. In file manager, under wp-content, themes, nirvana-child, style.css file looks like this

    /*
    Theme Name: CT Real Deals Custom
    Theme URI: https://ctrealdeals.com/
    This is a Child Theme for Nirvana 2014
    Author: Lawyer A. Twillie
    Template: Nirvana
    Version: 0.1
    */
    @import url(“../nirvana/style.css”);

    So now, I only have Nirvana “activated”. I have searched these forums and other theme forums trying to trouble shoot without starting my own thread. Went through the codex too for creating a child theme, and I think I’ve done everything correctly.

    Any takers? https://www.ctrealdeals.com

    Thank you in advance to all who may try to assist.

    Small ‘n’ on “nirvana” in the template

    Thanks Andrew. Went to file manager, Content, Themes, Nirvana-child, opened up the style.css folder with the code editor, changed the lower case n to upper case N. Saved, closed the editor, reloaded in cpanel, reloaded on WordPress dashboard, but still getting the same error?

    Oops I wasn’t clear, this line:

    Template: Nirvana

    Should be this:

    Template: nirvana

    Holy smokes Batman, it worked! Thanks Andrew.

    Going forward, when creating a child theme, do I always have to use lower case on the template: line?

    The name here will be the same as the folder name

    I understand. Thank you for the information. Greatly appreciated.

    Hi Folks

    WP Localhost build.

    Sorry to resurrect this one rather than start a new thread, but this appears to be the same problem I’m having. I’m fresh in from Joomla and not familiar with the WP file structure.

    ‘Template: nirvana’

    I’m having trouble finding the file or backend location to enter this. Sure enough, I can see that the template folder is named with a lowercase ‘n’, but I am not seeing the correct results.

    Any help will be very much appreciated : )

    Hi – this thread is resolved, so not a good place to get help. You can start a new one here:
