Hello, I’m trying to create a child theme for Atlas Free theme (installed from the theme marketplace).

But I keep getting this error message (image attached): Error: Cannot create more child themes for “atlas-theme”.

 ![Screenshot (494).png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/b/cb12d97dd87fccbe5a3d1a2f4bcac564dc909c26.png)  
Error: Cannot create more child themes for “atlas-theme”.

I reached out to the theme support and I haven’t heard back yet. I need to create this child theme so I can start working. Can someone guide me to fix it, please?

Hi @Deexo It looks like you have a Starter subscription which is limited to 1 child theme. If you already have a child theme, this error is preventing you from creating additional.

If you aren’t using the other child theme, deleting it will allow you to then create one for Atlas Theme.
