  • Create a theme folder in your /wp-content/themes directory called inheritance-child.
  • Then, create a style.css file within your theme folder.
  • At the top of your style.css file, add the below information.
/**
 * Theme Name: Inheritance Child
 * Theme URI: http://link-to-your-site.com
 * Description: Describe what your theme should be like.
 * Version: 0.1
 * Author: Your Name
 * Author URI: http://link-to-your-site.com
