 * I made child theme to my metro-pro theme, so I could do custom css to my site.
   After I made new theme called metro pro child and added new style.css file with
   code it doesn’t recognize my parent theme.
 * This is the following error I get:
    This theme is broken. The “metro-pro” theme
   is not a valid parent theme.
 * Link to my filezilla and code: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B5ij8T0UIVlSJh4fgy6Cf_4tI7T9jOYtvmE9Ose0iAI/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B5ij8T0UIVlSJh4fgy6Cf_4tI7T9jOYtvmE9Ose0iAI/edit?usp=sharing)
 * Cant figure out what’s wrong..

 * You can do it automatically by adding this plugin.
 * Orbisius Child Theme Creator
 * with this plugin you can click on your theme in the WordPress Dashboard appearance
   sidebar. That allows you to save time.
