Review child themes and check that you have the correct comment block at the top of your style.css file.

Well that fixed part of my problem…THANKS
Now it changed the entire look of the page..All I was trying to move sidebar to the LEFT

below is my style.css for the child…..

Theme Name: Twenty Twelve Child
Theme URI: https://www.knottydog.com/wp
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Twelve theme
Author: larry hemmerich
Author URI:
Template: twentytwelve
Version: 0.1.0
*/
@import url(‘../twentytwelve/style.css’);

/*– move sidebar to the left –*/
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.site-content {
float: right;
}
.widget-area {
float: left;
}
}

/* for IE8 and IE7 —————-*/
.ie .site-content {
float: right;
}
.ie .widget-area {
float: left;
}

Start by removing:

/*-- move sidebar to the left --*/
@media screen and (min-width: 600px) {
.site-content {
float: right;
}
.widget-area {
float: left;
}
}

/* for IE8 and IE7 ----------------*/
.ie .site-content {
float: right;
}
.ie .widget-area {
float: left;
}

from your child’s stylesheet.

OK but what do I put in its place to move the sidebar to the LEFT
I though I copied this from the WP support site..
Thanks

Start by adding:

.left-sidebar #primary {
    float: left;
}

to your child theme. You then may need to massage the margin on the primary and secondary divs to suit your needs.
