    Hi; I own a Mega News theme and I’m trying to create a child theme using the following sheet:

    /*
    Theme Name: Mega News child
    Theme URI: http://rocknride.eu
    Description: meganews
    Author: Francesco Andretti
    Author URI: http://rocknride.eu
    Template: meganews
    Version: 1.0.0
    Text Domain: meganews
    */

    @import url(“../meganews/style.css”);

    /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– */

    But I’m getting allways the same report:

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description Mega News\ The parent theme is missing. Please install the “meganews\” parent theme.

    Things I’ve tried:

    1. Read through everything I could find in the forums.
    2. Deleted all child theme related files and started from scratch.
    3. Re-read the Codex for creating child themes in case I was spacing out on a step. Re-watched video tutorials for the same reason.
    4. Tried to paintedcliffs solution with zipping it
    5. tried many different writings with lower and upper case and spaces.

    My site is: http://rocknride.eu/

    Does anybody has an idea what I am doing wrong?
