Hi,
I’m trying to install the child theme as per your download and I’m getting an error message in worpress/appearance/themes saying:
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
enfold child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “enfold” parent theme.I have a working and active enfold theme installed and the title is exactly the same in the style.css file so from what I gather it should be correctly pointing to the parent template.
I’ve tried deleting the file in my cPanel file manager and then re-extracting it directly from the zip file, but the same thing keeps happening.
Any ideas?

Thank you for using Enfold.
Please provide a link to the website. We would like to check it. Edit the style.css file, make sure that the Template name is the same as the folder name of the parent theme:
Template: enfold

I am having the same problem and from what I can see, the style sheet for my template matches up with the child theme style sheet. Site is provided below.
Thank you!

Your enfold folder is not named just enfold, that’s why the child theme is not working. Please rename it to “enfold” and let us know how it worked out for you.
Best regards,
VictoriaMay 7, 2017 at 7:04 pm #789139Ah! Yes, when I downloaded the parent theme, it was labeled Enfold 4.0. Fixed the issue, thank you!

Please I want to install the child theme as well.
Perent theme is active right now. Should I just hit activate to child theme? Or should I first deactivate the parent theme first?What is the right way to do it, to avoid my site to crash. it happened before when I tried this..
Please help?June 30, 2019 at 7:59 pm #1114671Hi arthurepassa,
You can activate the child theme. If the site crashes, can you please check server log for error?
Best regards,
Victoria -
