Hey I posted it in my question my website is http://marquardtinc.com
Chrissy MarquardtMemberThanks to Andrea from Copyblogger for pointing this out to me 🙂 !
Chrissy MarquardtMemberThank you everyone for your response. Hope I didnt come across as too crabby in my post - it was late last night and I was having a heck of a time figuring out what I was doing wrong. When I download any themes my Mac automatically unzips the file so I usually have to go in and rezip everything and rename the zip file ( herein lies my mistake) .The ftp file has to be EXACTLy /wp-content/themes/genesis for the child theme to recognize the parent theme. I had it as wp-content/themes/GenesisFramework ( as in I renamed my zip file GenesisFramewrk, it auto defaults to Archive.zip) which is why the child themes were like " Where is my mama"
Everything now seems to be in working order. Next step, customizing my theme. Boy there is so much to learn to  this web design stuff but I am having a lot of fun :). Thanks again and I hope my problem will help someone else for future reference 🙂
Chrissy MarquardtMemberChrissy MarquardtMemberHello
I am a newbie web designer and just bought and installed the Prose Child Theme per the recommendation of one of your affiliates. I have tried multiple times uninstalling and reinstalling the Prose Child theme on my blog without any success.
I am installing the Genesis zip file first via WordPress(.org), <i>not activating it</i> and then going back in and uploading the Prose zip file. The Genesis file goes through fine and it even shows up in my dashboard for me to go in and configure. When I install the Prose theme, here is the error message I am getting : -
Installing Theme from uploaded file: ProseChildTheme.zip
Unpacking the package…Installing the theme…
This theme requires a parent theme. Checking if it is installed…
The parent theme could not be found. You will need to install the parent theme, genesis, before you can use this child theme.
Theme installed successfully.
So even though the genesis them is installed on my Dashboard its as if the Prose files are not recognizing it. Ive gone through the whole gamut about 3 times now, even tried to install the Genesis sample zip to see if I missed something and that file did not work either.
I was told that the Prose child theme was one of the easiest to work with, and Ive heard great things about the Genesis Framework. So far I have to admit I am not happy and have a headache as a result. PLease let me know how I can resolve this without having to do a lot of coding.
Thank you
