Child Theme in WP Multisite

Recommended Posts

tufts_16

Hi, I renamed child theme, and the CSS file reference was updated. But when it shows up in my WP multisite list (staging server), it shows up like this in the list to activate new theme: "PlatformBase/simple11" instead of what I assumed was going to just be "simple11." If this is the case, then should the simple11 folder be placed INSIDE the PlatformBase folder on the server? I have no idea why I can create a stand alone child theme, but then not be able to access it or apply to my test sites before I roll it out to a huge student population. Please help!

Did you rename the folder platformbase to simple11 ? All you have to do is rename that and edit the style.css and you should have a new child theme.

I copied the folder, platformbase and renamed it simple11, edited the style.css to reference simple11/css as described in earlier forum questions. I'm working with our sys admin this morning to see if it is anything on our end. I'll get back to you. Thanks for answering so quickly.

At the top of the stylesheet you have to change the Theme Name as well.
