Thank you! Works perfectly now on my multisite. Looking forward to playing around with it!

was this ever resolved? i’m having the same issue.

Not working for me either with all above mentioned methods. I’m building on a local environment. Anyone get it to work?

thanks kjodle! turned out i had an extra space in my style.css file!

holy toledo, that worked! thank you so much! child theme is now working and i’ve successfully gotten the featured images to not show up on the posts.

i’ve been having newcomer wordpress issues for weeks so it’s been rad to find out how supportive and generous the web community can be. thanks again and best to you!

Hi electrolund,

Ok, I fixed my theme so that it’s only “oxygen,” and not “oxygen-1.” My installed child theme is now oxygen-child, and the style.css file looks like this:

/*
Theme Name:     Oxygen Child
Description:    Child theme for the Oxygen theme
Author:         Erin Glass
Template:       oxygen
Version:        0.1.0
*/

@import url ("../oxygen/style.css"); 

}

The child theme successfully uploads and activates, but the formatting is still all mush. Am I completely missing your advice? As far as I can tell, I’m following the WP Codex.

idahospud,

did you ever resolve this problem? i’m having the exact same issue. i’m using the oxygen theme, and every time i try to activate or preview the child theme, it looks nothing like the parent theme. would love to know if you figured out a way to fix it.
thanks!

electrolund,

thanks much for your response. i’ve been trying to teach myself how to make a child theme, but for some reason when activated, it loses all of the parent’s formatting.

i’ve put the child theme in the wp-content folder with a style.css sheet that looks like this:

/*
Theme Name:     Oxygen Child
Description:    Child theme for the Oxygen theme
Author:         Erin Glass
Template:       oxygen-1
Version:        0.1.0
*/

@import url ("../oxygen-1/style.css"); 

}

my template and theme are both “oxygen-1” instead of “oxygen” as for some reason the theme template was originally imported with that name and i’m not sure how to change it back without screwing up the site. i don’t think that’s why the child theme isn’t working.

any idea what might be going wrong with the child theme? thanks again.

for some reason when i use the embed code, the video won’t show up at all. the only way i can make the video show up is with the youtube short code. are you using the oxygen theme?

loving the theme too! slightly related question:

is it possible to not have featured images show up in the actual post? i can’t seem to make that happen. i don’t want the featured image to show up in the post because i’m placing a youtube video there instead.

example:

thanks!

i’m having similar issues — but my video is showing up way too large! even setting the max size in the media settings doesn’t change anything. is there a way to change this?

Thanks, Jcarrio! That helped!

Does anyone know how to make static pages show up in the slider?
