• For the past two weeks I have been trying to update a simple blog from the DEFAULT theme to TWENTYFIFTEEN theme.
    The DEFAULT theme works but could use some of the enhancements available in TwentyFifteen
    I have not made any code changes to the TwentyFifteen theme
    My objective is to have a Header, Main Page and a SideBar on the right side.
    The Main Page was created as a POST
    The TwentyFifteen theme has a Header,
    the Main Page is full width with a border of about 10 characters wide(which I do not want).
    The SideBar is below the Main Page ( I want it on the right side).
    The creation of a Child theme should allow me modify the size and location of the Main Page and the SideBar.
    No matter what I do I cannot modify the anything with the Child theme.
    The Style CCS for the theme is (after many attempts to get it right is
    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
    Theme URI: https://GreatLakesSmokers.ca/twenty-fifteen-child/
    Description: Twenty Fifteen Child Theme

    */
    function child_scripts_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri().’/style.css’, array() );
    }
    body:before { max-width: 413px;}
    #sidebar { left: 0;}
    #page {margin-left: 0px}

    The Theme Functions is
    <?php
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
    }

    The above Child theme modifications were taken of WordPress suggestions
    I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
