why child theme style sheet in wordpress editor is blank?

Make sure the styles.css in the child theme folder has the proper tags (opening and closing).

Child themes, when first created, usually have a blank styles.css file, with just the open/close ‘styles’ tag.

Although probably not the answer, perhaps extra spacing is before the opening tag? (Shouldn’t make a difference if there is…)
