    The parent theme is missing. Please install the "JobRoller" parent theme.

    Trying to create a child theme for JobRoller, I have a directory named jobroller-child at the same level as the jobroller directory in the themes directory. currently have a single style sheet with ONLY the following content

    /*
    Theme Name: JobRoller-child
    Version: 1.7.1
    Theme URI: http://www.appthemes.com/themes/jobroller/
    Description: Child theme for the JobRoller theme to include language defines
    Author: AppThemes
    Author URI: http://www.appthemes.com/
    AppThemes ID: jobroller
    License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
    License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
    */

    @import url("../jobroller/style.css");

    In administrative area under appearance -> themes I have the following error message...

    Broken Themes

    The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.



    Name

    Description



    JobRoller-child

    Template is missing.


    ...So what am I missing?? Everything I find on the interwebs states that a child theme ONLY needs a style sheet. Doesn't help that I don't truly understand how WP even detects a child themes associate to a parent theme, nothing seems to cover that Suggestions please?
