    I’m creating a child theme using Diced as the parent, but when referencing boldgrid-diced as the parent name WordPress is saying the theme doesn’t exist, yet Diced is installed.  I’m thinking I don’t have the correct name listed, but I don’t know where to find the name.  Thoughts?

    Hello Keith,

    Thank you for your question about creating a child theme. We a great example of how to accomplish this with the Hydra theme in our guide on how to Create a Child Theme to Customize Your WordPress Website. In that example, you should be able to just replace the $parent_style value with  ‘boldgrid-diced’.

    Thank you,

    John-Paul

    Hi John-Paul,

    Thanks for the response, and that’s exactly what I did, but WordPress said that the Diced theme was not installed, thus my confusion.  How do I find out exactly what value the theme is using?
