Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php

Good evening.

I’m trying to make a child theme for illdy, but keeps giving me errors even though it is a simple procedure and my site is very new. The error is:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete.

illdy-child Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.

My site is http://travelinsightswriter.com, and the stylesheet I uploaded for my child is:

/*
Theme Name: Illdy Child
Theme URI: http://travelinsightswriter/wp/themes/illdy/
Author: Travel Insights Writer
Author URI: http://travelinsightswriter.com
Template: illdy
Description: Illdy Child Theme
Version: 1.0.25
License: GNU General Public License v2 or later

Tags: blog, e-commerce, education, entertainment, news, food-and-drink, holiday, photography, portfolio
Text Domain: illdy-child
*/
@import ‘layout/css/main.css’;
@import ‘layout/css/custom.min.css’;

Could you please help me? Thanks

Hello Sheila,

Please have a look here first, and see if you missed any step:

If nothing seems to work, you could try a child theme plugin, might be the single most simple fix to set up the child theme.

This kind of issue gets quite difficult to debug without any file access and preview so let me know if the above got you forward with the setup.

Regards
