I have had x for 2 days and wanted to start from scratch with a child theme. I downloaded one from themeco and it says it cannot find the parent theme. But that is installed and seems to be responding as expected but what do I know?
I have it installed on my localhost for the time being. Using WAMP. I was able to install 3 other instances of WordPress, which are all working, and created a child theme with one of them fairly easily. The x-child is under themes so I am not sure what is the issue. The parent install of X is installed as follows: localhost/LCW_X/ The child is installed at C:\wamp64\www\LCW_X\wp-content\themes\x-child so localhost/LCW_X/wp-content/themes/x-child. But in the style.css the url says it is: Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/ Should this not be pointing to the localhost/LCW_X/ address?
Please forgive me I am very new to all of this. Thanks
John
Again this is located on localhost windows8
WordPress is 4.7.3
WAMP is 3.0.6
X is 4.6.4 ( where do you find this exactly? )
Cornerstone installed but not even validated yet but 2 days oldHi There,
Thank you for writing in! Make sure both c folder is inside \wp-content\themes\ directory, do not rename this folders.
Also make sure that inside of the x and x-child folder is files (functions.php, style.css, etc.) not another folder that is named x.
Also check your parent x theme style.css file and make sure you have this comments on the top.
/* Theme Name: X Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/ Author: Themeco Author URI: http://theme.co/ Description: An immensely powerful and endlessly customizable WordPress theme. Version: 4.6.4 License: GNU General Public License v2.0 License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Text Domain: __x__ */And this on the x-child:
/* Theme Name: X – Child Theme Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/ Author: Themeco Author URI: http://theme.co/ Description: Make all of your modifications to X in this child theme. Version: 1.0.0 Template: x */Do not change any of that. Let us know how it goes.
Cheers!
