Ok, Im finding creating a child theme for Simple Catch Pro near impossible.

I’ve followed the guide lines and done everything how it should be done and even included the coding below in the new style.css.

When I activate the child theme it seems to know the parent theme and recognise that is the child of Simple Catch Pro but when I view my site it is not set on the theme, but blank with text all over the place.

Is there a way to solve this?

/*
Theme Name: Simple Catch Pro Child
Theme URI: http://catchthemes.com/themes/simple-catch-pro/
Description: Child theme for the Simple Catch Pro theme
Author: Catch Themes
Author URI: http://catchthemes.com
Template: simple-catch-pro
*/
@import url(“../simple-catch-pro/style.css”);

@k.capelli: Your style.css of child theme looks fine. Do you have Simple Catch Pro theme there was well. The site come blank with text all over the place, only when the child theme doesn’t find the parent theme style.css

Can you activate your child theme and send me your site URL?

My site URL is http://www.thelostlondoner.com

When I activate Simple Catch Pro theme its working fine and the style.css is untouched.
When I activate my Simple Catch Pro child theme it looks as it does now (see link), when even I preview it it looks this way.

When I go into the ‘editor’ of my child theme it reads..

Templates
This child theme inherits templates from a parent theme, Simple Catch Pro.

And it links back to Simple Catch Pro so it seems aware that it is the child of Simple Catch Pro.

My child theme is in the themes folder and contains just the style.css which has been written in ‘Text Wrangler’

Let me know if you need anymore information. Would love to make this look right asap!

@k.capelli: I couldn’t find the style.css of your child theme http://www.thelostlondoner.com/wp-content/themes/Simplecatchprochild/style.css

Maybe your server doesn’t take capital letter. So, can you change your child theme directory from Simplecatchprochild to simple-catch-pro-child

Ok I’ve done that and it now seems to locate the style.css but the site still looks all jumbled..

@k.capelli: the site now looks fine to me. Can you refresh your browser to clear the cache and you will see your site as fine.
