Template is Missing – Child Theme

    For some reason, my child-theme is no longer recognized by wordpress. In my themes section, it says:

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Name Description
    Junction Template is missing.

    This is what I have in my style.css


    /*
    THEME NAME: Junction
    THEME URI: https://patdryburgh.net/junction/
    DESCRIPTION: A Child-Theme based on Thematic
    VERSION: 0.1
    AUTHOR: Pat Dryburgh
    AUTHOR URI: https://patdryburgh.net

    Any thoughts?? I’ve searched the forums and have attempted some of the solutions, but still to no avail. Am I missing something, or not understanding what the problem is?

    Thanks

    Nevermind, I figured it out. Dumb mistake.

    Template: thematic

    I’ve come across this topic when got myself into a similar situation.
    I’d like to mention another thing for others that might search for a fix.

    /*

    When adding the Template thingie into the style’s commented header make sure you write the name of the parent template considering the case sensitive issue.
    In my case Template: Mimbo (notice the capital M) gave me the error “template or stylesheet missing” because the parent theme folder was in lowercase.

    Same thing happened to me as to @crz. My parent theme name was “Sunset Theme,” but putting in “Template: Sunset Theme” got me a broken theme message. The theme’s folder is “sunset-theme”. So writing “Template: sunset-theme” got me back in business.
