 * I’m not sure if it’s the SAME problem (I was testing on 2.1 rather that 2.0) 
   however I did find A bug which I have created a fix for here. Hopefully that 
   will resolve your issue creating a child theme.

 * Hi Jason, 
 * Thank you! I did update to 2.1 since I left the thread on Support, Then, I deleted
   that plugin and downloaded the one that had been just updated yesterday.  Not
   sure if it was diff. or not, but thought i’d try it in any case.
 * I uploaded some google fonts via the editor.
 * _Dashboard>Create Block Theme> has this message: This page is deprecated and 
   will be removed in the next release. Please try exporting from the Create Block
   Theme menu of the [editor](https://dev08.sitedistrict.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php?canvas=edit)
   instead._
 * I created a child theme from the editor (the wrench icon). it worked fine. no
   downloading a theme, then uploading a theme, just created and I think it also
   activated it. 
 * Thanks for your help
 *  Eve
