Courses Plus Student 157 PointsSorry I was mistaken. This is the first time I have tried to setup a child theme in 3.8.1 and it is giving me errors.
prior all I would have to do is create the directory and a basic style.css and all was good.
For some reason when I activate the new child theme it does not stay activated.
Here is my style.css
/* Theme Name:Twenty Twelve Child Template:twentytwelve-child */
@import url("../twentytwelve/style.css");
