Site crashed when child theme activated

    When I activated my child theme the site crashed and I now have no live site or login page through which to access admin.

    The site was running on a theme called robiz.
    Via FTP I created a directory in wp-content > themes and named it robiz-child
    In that directory I put a file called style.css (see copy below):

    __________________________________________________

    /*
    Theme Name: Robiz Child
    Description: Robiz Child Theme
    Author: Peter Gleeson | Web Ignite
    Author URI: http://www.webignite.com.au
    Template: robiz
    Version: 1.0.0
    */

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

    _________________________________________________

    I then refreshed the site dashboard and activated the Robiz Child theme. And that is when the backend completely disappeared. When I checked the live site, it too was gone.

    You can see where the site should be at http://www.optimum.webignite.com.au/

    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    to get your site back quickly just remove that new child theme folder you created. WP will automatically take the parent theme.

    Please let us know if the site works properly with the parent theme.
    your child theme’s style css looks correct or did I overlooked something?
