    Hello, great theme!
    I would like to use child theme but it seems not working.

    What files – including style.css – should be included in the child theme directory?

    Currently, I have style.css in the child theme directory and I get a blank page after activating the theme.

    Using WPMU.

    Thank you for your support.

    Hi strategizeme,

    To make a child theme for WPChimp Countdown, you should have a directory called wpchimp-countdown-child inside your wp-content/themes directory and under that directory you should have at least a style.css file (that’s the only requirement).

    For example having this css file would work:

    /*
 Theme Name:   WPChimp Countdown Child
 Theme URI:    http://example.com
 Description:  WPChimp Coundown Child Theme
 Author:       John Doe
 Author URI:   http://example.com
 Template:     wpchimp-countdown
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         responsive-layout, custom-menu, custom-colors, translation-ready, theme-options, editor-style, right-sidebar, threaded-comments
 Text Domain:  wpchimp-countdown-child
*/

@import url("../wpchimp-countdown/style.css");

/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
.headline {
	color: red;
}

    This example will make the headline text red.

    Hope it works out, if not please reply to this message.

    Best regards,
    Florin
