    Hi, Everyone.
    I’m running into the following issue while trying to create a sela-child theme.

    Error in appearance – themes
    Sela child
    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.

    I have a stela-child folder which includes a function.php to enqueue both the parent style and the child style. It also contains a style.css file with the appropriate header information.

    Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue?

    functions.php

    <?php
    function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
    
        $parent_style = 'sela-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
    
        wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
        wp_enqueue_style( 'sela-child',
            get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
            array( $parent_style ),
            wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
        );
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
    ?>

    style.css

    /*
