    Just recently purchased Contango Pro, and now the child theme can’t seem to see it. I’m getting the message:

    Broken Themes
    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

    Name Description
    Contango – BarIssues.com The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Contango” parent theme.

    The top area for the child style.css is:

    /*

    Hello,
    We have re-tested Child theme for the Contango Pro and it is working fine. Here is the minimal setup for Contango child theme.

    1. Contango Pro theme
    2. Contango Pro Child theme with `style.css`

    Here is the header for the `style.css` file

    /*
    Theme Name: Child Theme
    Theme URI: http://designorbital.com/child-theme/
    Description: Contango Child Theme
    Author: DesignOrbital
    Author URI: http://designorbital.com
    Template: contango
    Version: 1.0.0
    Tags: light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
    Text Domain: contango-child
    */

    /* Load Contango Stylesheet */

    @import url( “../contango/style.css” );

    /* =Theme customization starts here
    ————————————————————– */[/CODE]

    It is working fine.

    ** Please re-check you have installed Contango Pro properly.

    Thanks[CODE]/*

    Thanks, It’s working now, except it’s not responsive and that’s the reason we bought it. When I go to the themes page in the admin panel and check theme details of the child theme, it says “This is a child theme of Contango Pro.” so it seems to be setup properly.

    I didn’t delete the free version, but it’s in the folder “contango-old” and the theme name is “Contango” while the pro name is “Contango Pro”.

    Hello,

    I will recommend to delete the free version of Contango and don’t alter the folder name. It will also help the easy upgrading in future. Following thread will be helpful to you.
