Wordpress 2014 child theme setup

Question

i am having trouble activating a child theme for a wordpress 2014 theme. I created a folder twentyfourteen-child. I have a style.css with

1 /*  
2 Theme Name:Twenty Fourteen Child
3 Version: 1.0
4 Theme URI: link
5 Description: A basic starter child theme for Twenty Fourteen 
6 Author: Tim 
7 Author URI: link
8 Template: twentyfourteen
9 License: GPL 
10 License URI: ...
11 */

And a functions.php with

 1<?php
 2 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );
 3 function enqueue_parent_styles() {
 4         wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style',  get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css');
 5 }

I am running another wordpress site with the same theme and the same code, which is working fine. The two websites are both installed in subdirectories and the Template name from the style.css is matching the directory name of the parent theme. I basically just copied these two files.

When i activate the child theme the menu structure is destroyed. The side contains a menu on the left side and the top side, but now they are both merged in the top menu. Has someone an idea what could be wrong here!?

Answer 1

If you have already set up your theme and you activate your Child Theme after that, you have to reassign your menu's true Appearance -> Menu's.
