Very simply, I’ve created a child theme directory and stylesheet as per instructions. Problem is that there is simply NO activate child theme option that I can see from the Dashboard>themes menu or the graphene configuration options, so child themes can’t possibly work!
I upgraded to 1.6 from 1.5.6 and wasn’t surprised to see my modifications wiped out (including the deletion of the /graphene_child directory I’d created). Actually, all I had to do to fix things was to FTP my modified style.css file to overwrite the default file in graphene folder and all was well again.
In my case, there doesn’t seem much point in creating a child theme when its easier simply to reload the modified stylesheet.
ALSO: Having updated from 1.5.6 to 1.6 (twice now!) when I look at the update themes details it’s still telling me I have 1.5.6 installed! What’s going on?
But the real question is how on earth do I activate a child theme if there is no option to do so?
