Hi,
I created a child theme for mantra on my local host, but doesn’t work!!!
My style is:
/*
Theme Name: Mantra Child
Description: Mantra child theme
Version: 0.1
Template: mantra
*/
@import url(“../mantra/style.css”);

The child theme it loads ,but doesn’t recogniz the configurations of the parent theme, showing a screen incorrect setting!!!!
Others have had the same problem?
Is a bug???
Thancks!!!

Did you use a plain text editor to create that style.css file? Looks like you have curly quotes in there and those can be problematic. See the difference between your and mine?
```
(“../mantra/style.css”); 

"  "
```

Can you link to the page with the issue?

If you changed that @import line in the Dashboard > Editor – you need to then switch to another theme, and back to the child for it to be recognized. Try that.

mcky? Calmly please. You’re frustrated but honestly more !!! sure isn’t going to help you.

Since you can’t post a link we can get to can you paste your entire child theme into a pastebin.com link? Once you do post the link to that paste and someone can look at it there.

See http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code for instructions on how to use pastebin.com.

be aware that a child theme is like a different theme, and does not use the parent theme’s theme options and appearance settings, like header images, menus etc…

have you tried to set those options etc new for the child theme?
