My issue is that, even though the DMS child theme seems to be working okay, I'm getting this message at Appearance > Themes:
This child theme requires its parent theme, PageLines DMS. The parent theme is the default DMS theme at wp-content/themes/dms. The child theme is a copy of the parent "dms" folder, at wp-content/themes/dms-child, with the following style.css content:
/* Theme Name: PageLines DMS Child Theme URI: http://www.pagelines.com/tour Description: Child theme for PageLines DMS Author: PageLines Author URI: http://www.pagelines.com/ Template: dms Version: 1374175685 */ @import url("../dms/style.css"); According to my reading of http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes, the line
Template: dms in the DMS child theme's style.css file is correct, as it's supposed to reflect the folder in which the parent theme is located. (Do I understand that correctly?)
However, Pageline's documentation at http://docs.pagelines.com/developer/child-themes says that the line should be
Template: pagelines Changing the DMS child style.css line "Template: dms" to "Template: pagelines" breaks the DMS child theme. (I recall that when in beta, DMS was in the directory "pagelines" but was changed shortly before launch to the directory "dms," so I'm guessing that the Pagelines documentation at http://docs.pagelines.com/developer/child-themes never got updated.)
Anyway, I must be missing something simple, but so far, I haven't figured this out. What am I doing wrong? This is my first child theme, and I'm anxious to get going. :)

P.S. I actually posted this to a Pagelines forum, but for the life of me, I can't find the posting and this forum looks quite different. So I'm re-posting here. My apologies in advance if I seem to be double-posting.
