I have followed the instructions from this site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes and double checked with a Lynda.com video (which said the same thing). I cannot get the child theme to appear under themes. I also had this difficulty when trying to install a child theme previously with a different account on my server hosted wp account.
I have checked that all my folders are labelled correctly and in the right place (the child theme is inside the wp_content file>themes>
and I copied the code snippet from the lynda.com video for the style.css file, so I am not sure what I have done wrong.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
