/* Theme Name: Sampression Child 
   Description: Child theme for Sampression theme 
   Author: Sampression 
   Template: sampression-lite 
*/ 
@import url("../sampression-lite/style.css");

To override the template files in the parent theme, open the original template file and save a copy to the child theme folder with same file name and folder structure. The file structure has to match with the parent theme.
