WP Dashboard sees my MintChild theme, but when I activate it via WP, my site looks hideous: almost completely unformatted (think internet circa 1997: lots of Times New Roman and bulleted lists, without a hint of Mint’s layout, fonts, or styling).
Clearly I’m missing something.
I pulled my child code directly from ThemeLoom’s Codex, and I’ve created a child theme folder [LivingOS_MintChild] at the same level as the Mint theme folder. Its onluy contents are style.css, below.
Here’s my code
_____________________________________________
/*
Theme Name: LivingOS_MintChild
Theme URI: http: //growthspurtcoaching.com/
Description: Child Theme for LivingOS_Mint
Author: Karin Storm Wood
Author URI: http: //karinstormwood.com/
Template: LivingOS_Mint
Version: 1.0
*/
/* import parent styles */
@import url(“../LivingOS_Mint/style.css”);
___________
That’s all it contains.
Theoretically, since the child theme doesn’t even include any CSS to override the parent, shouldn’t the child look identical to the parent?
Thanks.
