Can’t Install Child Theme “The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Default” parent theme.”

by

This is my first time installing a child theme and I ran into some errors

Here’ the style.css

/*
Theme Name: WD TechGoStore-child
Theme URI: http://wpdance.com/
Description: Commerce Template
Author: WPDance Team / WPDance.com
Author URI: http://wpdance.com/
Version: 1.0.3
Template: Default Template
Tags: one-column, two-columns, three-columns, left-sidebar, right-sidebar, flexible-width,         custom-menu, full-width-template, rtl-language-support, sticky-post, theme- options,                     translation-ready
License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
*/

Here’s the error:

The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Default” parent theme.

I’ve already tried several names for the “Template” but don’t know which one should be there as my theme only uses the default template.

Any help would be appreciated.

Change this line: Template: Default Template to Template: wp_techgostore-theme-package

As per the WordPress Codex,

The Template line corresponds to the directory name of the parent theme
