Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 19,022 Pointsproblems creating child theme
According to the codex best way to create to create child theme is use the at functions.php enqueue styles so l got his code in my functions.php of my moesiachild theme
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_theme_style' ); function enqueue_parent_theme_style() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' ); } ?>
in my style.css of the child child theme l also got the follow code
/* Theme Name: Moesia Child Theme URI: http://athemes.com/theme/moesia Description: Moesia Child Theme Author: Kelvin Atawura Author URI: http://localhost:8888/wordpress/ Template: Moesia Version: 1.14 Tags: light, two-columns, three-columns, right-sidebar, fluid-layout, responsive-layout, custom-colors, custom-background, custom-header, custom-menu, featured-images, sticky-post, theme-options, threaded-comments, translation-ready Text Domain: moesia-child */
/* =Theme customization starts here -------------------------------------------------------------- */
l seem to have followed all the need directives but this doesn't seem to do the job. l keep getting styles.css missing from moesiachild on my dashbpard theme page. Any ideas of how l can fix this please?

The contents of your child theme style.css file should look like this:
/*
Theme Name: moesiachild
Theme URI: http://www.example.com/
Description: moesia child theme
Author: Kelvin Atawura
Author URI: http://example.com/
Template: moesia
Version: 1.0.0
Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
*/
/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */
The contents of your child theme functions.php file should look like this:
<?php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_theme_style' );
function enqueue_parent_theme_style() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}
?>
From what you wrote, I think that there's a typo in your functions.php file(Maybe you wrote styles.css instead of style.css?)

Getting back to your question, could you please paste again your functions.php file again? I think you have a typo in it.
