screen shot

I have no idea where the "screen shot" for a child theme is coming from or how it's being created.

Normally a screenshot would come from your images folder. And its named screenshoot.png or something like that.

Thank you but if I make a child theme who is making this child theme's screen shot? Where does it come from?

Thank you!
