After doing a quick search within the theme files it seems that THEMELIB is defined in the functions.php file:
define('THEMELIB', TEMPLATEPATH . '/library');
In order to not mess anything else up that uses the THEMELIB path I would like to create a new path just for the edited categories section. How do I get it to direct to the child instead of the parent theme?

Even if it’s a free theme? They don’t provide support for their non-paying members. If someone could just tell me what THEMELIB does that would be very helpful since I can’t find that anywhere online.

Peredur and Jason: thank you so much for your help!

Peredur, you were right, it turns out I needed to remove the spacing and capitalization from the folder names in my file system so that the @import statement could find the stylesheet. Also added the quotes back in for good measure.

Thanks again for your help and time! It’s nice to know that newbies just getting started can get reliable help here!

I didn’t notice this before but when I “preview” my child theme within the wp dashboard before applying it I see the following error messages:

fopen(C:\wamp\www\nioceans/wp-content/themes/ChildofPlatform/style.css) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\nioceans\wp-includes\functions.php on line 4339

fread() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\nioceans\wp-includes\functions.php on line 4342

fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\nioceans\wp-includes\functions.php on line 4345

Along with tables of information. Maybe that helps…

Thanks for the quick response! I’m working off WAMP so I can’t post a link but here is the top of my stylsheet:

/*
Theme Name: Child of Platform
Description: A customized WordPress magazine theme based on Platform by PageLines.
Author: mrlotker
Version: 0.0.1
Template: platform
*/
@import url(../platform/style.css);

I’ve also tried with single and double quotes inside the import parentheses. The font and background color formatting remains but the layout turns into a single column…including the info that was in the sidebar. Thanks for your help!

On the permalink settings page I use https://domain.com/%page name% in the
“custom” field and that should do what you’re trying to do. Good luck!
