    Hi,
    I have a broken child theme after trying to create a header widget using.
    https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/header/#toggle-id-3 but something in the process broke my child theme. I have restored the site to an earlier version, (I also replaced the header in the css file and added an index.php to the child theme folder) but I am still seeing this message:

    Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.
Name
Description
Web-shell
Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.
Delete
enfold-child
Stylesheet is missing.
Delete

    Please can you help?

    Hi,
    The Child Theme broke again since writing above, I have now done another restore.
    Reading this post:
    https://kriesi.at/support/topic/child-theme-default-style-css-or-enqueue-my_custom-css/ I’m wondering whether I caused the problem by using the outdated enqueue method. I will switch back to the usual method using style.css and let you know if it solves the problem.

    The problem seems fixed after restoring my original child theme using style.css.

    Hi Fionadee,

    We apologize for the delayed response and we are glad to hear that it’s fixed.
    Child themes needs to have 2 required files, style.css and functions.php.
    style.css needs to have Theme Name and Template, then functions.php will need atleast enqueue the style.css.

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I still have a problem.
    Just to summarise, I used some out-of-date information to create an enqueue folder for CSS in my child theme. This seemed to be the cause of the broken theme so I replaced it with a fresh child theme folder.

    However my new style.css is not being recognised and I am getting the error message below:

    /wp-content/themes/enfold-child/css/my_custom.css?ver=5.2.1:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

    Enfold is still looking for the old “my_custom.css” file. How can I direct Enfold to the new version?

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update, but you are still enqueuing that file in your functions.php file:

    /*Enqueue css for custom modifications*/
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() . '/css/my_custom.css',
        array('parent-style')
    );
}

    If you don’t want to enqueue that file then please remove that part of the code.

    Best regards,
    Rikard
