    I ma trying to add a Child Theme to Enfold. When I add the folder i keep getting this error…
    “The parent theme is missing. Please install the “enfold” parent theme.” but the Enfold Parent is present and can be used..Below is what my Stylesheet is set up as…

    /*

    Theme Name: enfold-child Child
    Description: A Child Theme for the Enfold WordPress Theme. If you plan to do a lot of file modifications we recommend to use this Theme instead of the original Theme. Updating will be much easier then.
    Version: 1.0
    Author:
    Author URI:
    Template: enfold

    */
    @import url(“../enfold/style.css”);

    /*Add your own styles here:*/

    Hi FoundationsFour!

    Thank you for using our theme.

    Try to remove 

    
@import url(“../enfold/style.css”);

    from the child theme style.css. This is not necessary, as all styles from the parent are loaded by default – this is the standard WP behaviour.
    Only put the changes you want to make in the child theme style.css.

    Easiest is to use the empty child theme which is included in the download from themeforest.

    Best regards,
    Günter

    I have the same problem, but there is no @import command in my style.css for the child theme. I am using the child theme from the download on theme forest without any changes (and the main theme as well ofc, the main theme works but not child).

    and the error:

    Enfold Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “enfold” parent theme.

    I have the main theme installed, so I don’t know why it isn’t detecting it.

    I downloaded the Enfold Child Theme and added to WP with no luck – still says the Parent Theme is still missing…could it be a cache issue?

    I have figured out the issue, in the Documentation to upload the Theme it states to upload the “enfold” folder after unzipping it. However I found the template files are nested in a sub folder called “enfold” within the “enfold” folder and this sub folder will not be able to have a child theme work. Once this was fixed everything worked fine – I think maybe fine tuning your documentation would help here…the template is great!

    Hi!

    Glad you got it fixed, we’ll review the documentation to make sure it’s correct. Thanks for letting us know.
