    I attempted to upload the child theme myself, adding, deleting and re-adding lines for the css and php files.
    Then i tried just uploading the un-zipped enfold-child from the comment under the vimeo – http://vimeo.com/67221517 , but still get zit.
    what i get in the Themes page is:

    Broken Themes
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
    Name Description
    Enfold Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “enfold” parent theme.

    In the css template is lowercase:
    Template: enfold
    so its not that.
    enfold and enfold-child are siblings.

    What else could it be? or a bug perhaps?

    Hi!

    I just tested with the exact same zip file on my install and it worked. Are you able to activate the Enfold theme (no child)?

    Can you create an administrator account and post it here as a private reply?

    Regards,
    Josue

    Hi!

    Please check the theme folder. Use ftp, connect to your server and go to wp-content/themes. Make sure that the parent theme folder is called “enfold” and not “enfold enfold” or “enfold%2Fenfold”.

    Best regards,
    Peter

    I’ll check again tonight, but I triple checked yesterday night and was simply ‘enfold’

    Delighted to say, buy pure chance, I found the problem and fixed it.
    In the vimeo link, looking closely through all the steps, in minute 1:50 it shows the folder of the theme ‘enfold’, inside a folder called ‘wp-enfold’.
    Only by misplacing the ‘enfold-child’ file and zip that i downloaded from the vimeo comment, i saw that i had 2 folders named ‘enfold’ (one inside the other) and no folder called wp-enfold. this is how i received it from Kriesi’s download – different from their (your :) own video tutorial.
    I checked on my FTP and found that I did in fact upload the container ‘enfold’ folder rather than the actual theme ‘enfold’ folder. I deleted it and uploaded the correct folder, checked the ‘Appearance’ page in my admin site – and saw the child!!
    I don’t know why kriesi changed the folder name since the video was created, but I think you should consider fixing one of the 2.
