wordpress child theme

raher1

hi
i am trying make a child theme in wordpress.org.
i followed the https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme
style.css
/*
Theme Name: Child of Twenty Sixteen
Theme URI: https://wordpress.org/themes/twentysixteen/
Theme URI: URI to your theme
Description: Twenty Sixteen child theme
Author: Patrick kelly
Version: 0.0.1
Template: twentysixteen
/*
@import url('../twentySixteen/style.css');
and functions.php
<?php
//
// Recommended way to include parent theme styles.
// (Please see http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#How_to_Create_a_Child_Theme)
//
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
function theme_enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array('parent-style')
);
}
?>
whats going wrong?

Can you be more specific in you question? It looks like you're version is blank but I don't know if that is what you've encountered.

It looks like your style.css is empty though, the code you've posted for that file only contains a commented block.

The styling from the theme has not transported or being imported by child theme. What's wrong?

M.T.D

you can use @import url(...
loads the parent style sheet first then you add your own styles
you can use more than one @import url(... if required just remember they will load sequentially


wp_enqueue_style(
This is the newer recommended method
more than one style sheet can be included and they can load in parallel

Using both methods in the same file would as far as I am aware not be recommended.

What is the name of the parent theme, its folder name and the name you want to give the child

The image does not affect the functioning of the child theme.
You need to create a 300x225 png with what ever image you want, save it as screenshot.png and upload it to the child theme folder
