  I tried to create a child theme using Radcliffe 2 for wordpress.org using the following code for the style.css

  /*
  Theme Name: Radcliffe 2 Child
  Theme URI: http://example.com/radcliffe-2-child/
  Description: Radcliffe 2 Child Theme
  Author: Darius D’Silva
  Author URI: [redacted]
  Template: radcliffe-2-wpcom
  Version: 1.0.0
  License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
  License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
  Tags: Custom Background, Custom Colors, Custom Header, Custom Menu, Featured Images, Threaded Comments, Site Logo, Author Bio, Classic Menu, Social Menu, Store
  Text Domain: radcliffe-2-child
  */

  and the following for the functions.php

  <?php
  function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

  $parent_style = ‘radcliffe-2-style’; // This is ‘radcliffe-2-style’ for the Radcliffe 2 Child theme.

  wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
  wp_enqueue_style( ‘child-style’,
  get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’,
  array( $parent_style ),
  wp_get_theme()->get(‘Version’)
  );
  }
  add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_theme_enqueue_styles’ );
  ?>
  which I basically copied from the WordPress codex.

  Notice there are no stars on featured prompt, contact info and style packs and when you click on the style pack link the images are missing.

  Thanks A Million

  Hey dsilvadarius,

  I am afraid that you’re in the wrong forums.

  We’re only able to help with the websites hosted on WordPress.com.

  For any questions related to the standalone software (WordPress.org), please submit your query to WordPress.org forums.

  The download link to the WordPress self-hosted version of this theme is only hosted here on https://wordpress.com/theme/radcliffe-2. Every theme on wordpress.org has it’s own support url (https://wordpress.org/support/theme/theme-name). How do you suggest going about asking for help? I even tried emailing the developer directly but did not get a reply.

  Thanks

  Darius

  The theme was developed by the WordPress.com developers and it’s also available for the WordPress.org users.

  Like you have mentioned, every theme has a support page, that’s the only way to get some help.

  Here in the WordPress.com forums, we’re only able to help with the WordPress.com users who want help with their websites. No open source development help is provided.

  That’s related to WordPress.org which require the use of WordPress.org forums.
