I think I have successfully made a child theme for Travelify but after I installed it it looks terrible! It not anything like what my theme was before and truly doesn’t even fit the template for travelify.
Here’s the website: ourcloudnine.org
Here’s what I put in my style.css folder:
/*
Theme Name: travelify-child
Theme URI: http://colorbib.com/wp/travelify
Description: Child theme for the travelify theme
Author: Colorbib
Author URI: http://colorbib.com/wp/
Template: travelify
Version: 1.5.0
/
@import url("…/travelify/style.css");
/
Here’s what I’ve put into my child theme folder (I have only edited the style.css):
editor-style.css
header.php
screenshot.php
style.css
I added the editor file and the header file after the problem presented itself and it did not change the problem in anyway 
I’ve been googling and searching this process for days and I’m lost.
Please help ~ Thank you in advance
And btw When I re-activate the Parent theme everything looks perfect - except the menu is on top of my slider pictures… That is new. But I just really want my child theme to function 
It really depends on what you added on those files. The setup does look ok, but content of those files is the most important part. Especially what is inside header.php
I didn’t change any of those files. I changed the style.css to only include the text I showed further up on the thread and then I went back and deleted the file and re-copied it and left all the other text in it along with filling in the proper stuff from up there ^ but it still didn’t change. I love the theme btw - I had it looking super too I just didn’t want to lose the work with the updates so I’m really wanting to figure out this child-theme dilemma. Thank you for trying to help.
Ok, now I see what is going on. You must name Child Theme folder as travelify-child and nothing else. The name you are using now TravelifyChildTheme will not work.
You are amazing!!! Thank you so much 
I am so excited that it worked and now I can get on with tweaking my design Thank you
