      Hi,

      sorry for my ignorance but could you explain me how to install the child theme via ftp?

      Thanks a lot!

      To clarify my previous ticket: I’ve installed specular theme one month ago and now I want to instal the child theme (without deleting anything of my web if it’s possible).

      Best regards!

      Hello,

      You must upload the folder ‘specular-child’ ( you can find it on specular package you have downloaded from themeforest) at wp-content/themes/ folder.

      So, you will keep the ‘specular’ folder on Themes and add ‘specular-child’. Then activate the child theme on your dashboard.

      Best regards!

      That’s exactly what I’ve done. But then shows me a warning on the dashboard: “The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template”.

      Do you know anything about this?

      Best regards!

      Hello,

       

      We have tested it and it works fine. Please check the file style.css on your child theme and make sure it have this content:

      <pre>/*

      Theme Name:     Specular Child

      Theme URI:      https://codeless.co

      Description:    Specular Child Theme

      Author:         Codeless

      Author URI:     https://www.codeless.co

      Template:       Specular

      Version:        1.0.0

      */

       

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

      </pre>

       

      Best regards!

      Yes, the style.css file has that content.

      Perhaps the problem is related with the Parent Theme versión (I’ve installed one month ago): Version 1.0.8

      What do you think?

      Thanks!

      But if I update the theme, it will lost some changes in php files… This is the reason for I wish to install the child theme.

      Hello,

      Can you give us your wp and ftp credentials so I can give it a look?
      You can replace only the changed files mentioned at the update change log.

      Best regards!

      We are having the exact same problem. We bought your theme through ThemeForest, and it is showing the version number for the base Specular theme is 1.2.2. The Specular Child theme version number is 1.0.0. In the child theme folder as part of the download, all I have are the following files:

      style.css

      functions.php

      screenshot.png

      Is this correct?

      This is the error message I get when I go to the Appearance tab in WordPress:

      Broken Themes

      The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

      Name Description

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

      The Specular Child CSS file contains everything it needs to in order to work correctly. What gives? How do we fix this?

      We can’t proceed with creating our website without this issue being resolved. Is there a solution to this or do we need to ask for a refund?

      Hello,

      We have tested the child theme and it works perfectly.
      Can you write your wp credentials in a private reply so I can check?

      Best regard!

      I do have the exact problems as NaidaGuy and will have to create this website this weekend.

      Please help as soon as possible as I didn’t consider this to happen when I bought it.

       

      Many thanks

       

      Steph

      Hello,

      I changed the line:

       Template: Specular 

      to

       Template: specular 

      We will fix it on the next theme update.

      Best regards!
