• Hi there,

    After spending 3 hours trying to make a child theme from all the resources (on WP and google) that I have seen I have got as far as this dogs dinner that can be found here:

    https://www.fatigue-symptoms.com/wp-admin/themes.php#wp_customize=on&theme=twentyeleven-child

    I was interested in working on the child theme from now on to avoid losing changes in updates etc to the parent and added this css file below with a few basic changes into the child folder in the content/themes directory just to make sure I could see the difference between parent and child. Judging from the result I don’t think there was any danger of that.

    It should look like the unfinished parent site here:
    https://www.fatigue-symptoms.com/

    Here’s the css file

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child
    Theme URI: https://www.fatigue-symptoms.com/
    Description: Child Theme for Twenty Eleven
    Author: Ian
    Author URI: https://www.fatigue-symptoms.com/contact
    Template: twentyeleven
    Version: 0.1
    */
    
    @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");
    
    body {
        color: #3f3f3f;
    }
    
    #site-title a {
        color: #009900;
    }

    I have no idea why the child theme site has ended up looking the way?

    What went wrong?

    Thanks in advance for any help,

  • You’ll have to activate the child theme so we can see what it looks like. All we can see now is your site with the default twenty eleven theme.
