Clipper parent style.css not importing into Child theme style.css
I have create a child theme folder for clipper. My new theme name is Clipper_child. The stylesheet in the child theme is style.css. The contents of /Clipper_child/style.css:
--------------------------------------------
/*
Theme Name: Clipper Child
Version: 1.0
Description: A premium coupon management theme for WordPress.
Template: clipper
Author: Duane Hardy
*/
@import url('../clipper/style.css');
@import url('../clipper/styles/blue.css');
--------------------------------------------
The css from the Clipper parent is not being imported into the new child stylesheet. If I enter style elements into the child they are implemented in the theme.
How do I get the original (Clipper Theme) stylesheets to import properly into the child style.css?
