 * Dear all,
 * I am trying to create a child theme for my Business-Eye parent theme. So I’ve
   followed some tutorials and I’ve done the following steps:
 * -Created a Business Eye-Child directory in the themes folder within wp-content.
 * -Created a Style.css file within Business Eye-Child directory.
 * -Wrote the following lines in the style.css file:
 * /*
    Theme Name: Business Eye-Child Theme URI: [http://britishconsultantsltd.com](http://britishconsultantsltd.com)
   Description: Business-Eye Child Theme Author: Daniel Herdt Author URI: [http://britishconsultantsltd.com](http://britishconsultantsltd.com)
   Template: Business Eye Version: 1.0 License: GNU General Public License v2 or
   later License URI: [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html)

   url(“../business-eye/style.css”);
 * This is what I’ve got once I went to the “themes” section under “appearance”:
 * ”
    Broken Themes
 * The following themes are installed but incomplete.

 * How can I fix this?
 * Many thanks,
