I’m having trouble creating a child theme for the Specular template. I change the directory name for the template, and change the info in the style.css (theme name & template to the new dir name.) The theme displays correctly for the website but none of the back-end theme specific stuff works such as appearance > editor or Customize. Any idea why?

Hello,
What exactly did you change the directory name into? Are you using the included child theme of Specular? Please send us your child theme folder so we can test it and check what is causing it.
best regards!

I’ve uploaded both theme folders as per the download from Envato. Regular theme activates fine. Child theme gives the error ‘The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Specular” parent theme.’ See this image https://i.imgur.com/3xA050s.jpg

Hello,
I don’t see any error message in the screenshot you send.
Do you have the parent theme uploaded into your wp-content/themes folder? You must use the exact same name (case sensitive) in the child theme Template: here at the @import line.You have a very old version of theme. I recommend you to update theme to it’s latest version (vs 1.9) first. Update Visual Composer as well. Then continue with further customization from child theme.
If you still have problem with child theme, send us your wp and ftp credentials in a private reply. So we can give it a closer look.Best regards!
