    Hi, I upgraded to hosting to make the child theme, but I am having problems. I created a style.css and functions.php file in the root directory of sketch-child, but the dashboard tells me that the theme is broken because the stylesheet is missing.

    I used this info for styles
    /*
    Theme Name: Sketch Child
    Theme URI: https://jennifer.deliciousdesign.ca/sketch-child
    Description: Sketch Child Theme
    Author: Susan Bates
    Author URI: https://deliciousdesign.ca
    Template: sketch
    Version: 1.0.0
    License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
    License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
    Tags: light, full width, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready, portfolio
    Text Domain: sketch-child
    */

    and this info for functions
    <?php
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = ‘parent-style’;

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
    get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
    array( $parent_style )
    );
    }
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    ?>
    <?php

    I got this info from www.ads-software.com – how to create a child theme. Upon reading it said that if your theme has two stylesheets, you have to enqueue them separately, but I have no idea how to do that. The other stylesheet is rtl.css

    Next I tried using the simpler code on the WP codex for functions but still got the same error.
    <?php
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );

    }
    ?>

    I also tried putting the rtl.css in the sketch-child folder, but that didn’t work either.

    Please help.
