安装父主题时出现Wordpress错误

Question

I'm new to web dev: trying to install a custom theme to Wordpress. Running Windows 10 and working on a local server with MAMP.

When I went to see my theme, I get the following message:

Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.

Name        Description
mywebsite   The parent theme is missing. Please install the "mywebsite;" parent theme.

Error I get when trying to install:

An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this 
server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support
forums.

Does anyone know how I fix this?

Thanks

check if in your theme-child style.css has:

/*
    Theme Name: yourtheme-child
    Template: yourtheme
    Text Domain: yourtheme-child
*/

and in theme style.css:

/*
    Theme Name: yourtheme
*/
