Child theme not working – why?

I’m trying to create a child theme to Baskerville, but it doesn’t work.

style.css looks like:

/*
 Theme Name:     Baskerville Child
 Theme URI:      http://www.andersnoren.se/teman/baskerville-wordpress-theme/
 Description:    Baskerville Child Theme
 Author:         Anders Norén
 Author URI:     http://www.andersnoren.se
 Template:       baskerville
 Version:        1.18
*/

@import url("../baskerville/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
------------------------------------------------------- */

I have also copied functions.php to the child theme.

NOTE: I use localhost.

When I try to activate the child theme I get HTTP ERROR 500. What am I doing wrong?

I would suggest you use this plugin instead. It works good and lets you just select options you want.

I got help form wpsv.se (WordPress Sweden).
I was not suppose to include functions.php and then it worked.

It’s easy to create child themes so there is no need to use plugin for it.
I avoid using plugins for everything. It’s better to do it yourself if you can.
