Can I ask where exactly on the child theme style.css do you insert that suggestion?

That worked!!!! Gosh 2-days of struggling – but lessons learned.
You guys are great. Thanks!!

Thank you, it’s uploading now. I will then retry to upload the child theme you provided. Keep your fingers crossed.

Do I have to delete the current twentyeleven folder before I upload the new folder?

Okay I was hoping it wouldn’t come down to this but it has. I didn’t do the transfer, I payed someone to do it. Is there anyway you can tell me how to do this?

I’m wondering, could something be wrong with the Twenty Eleven Theme? Could this have been damaged in someway during the transfer of the site? It’s functioning fine but could it effect the child theme?

I clicked on your link and clicked on download. It went to my download folder. I placed it on my desktop and used Fetch to load it up to my site’s wp manager.

I need to get this site up and running. I was so glad you told me about the child theme and realized how important this is going to be for future updates on a self-hosting site. I hate to make any more changes to the site without this child theme.
I know this isn’t your problem, is there anywhere you can direct me?
You folks who do this are so great and patient.

Yes I did upload the file to my child theme folder just as you sent it – no changes. But it was not available as a theme on my Themes page. The files are there but no theme available for selection to activate.

Thanks you so much for answering that. Yes that is what they are set to.
Esmi do you have any suggestions. It’s not like I’m new to computers, internet. But I’m truly stumped here – I am new to programming.

I don’t understand what you mean by these permissions.

The permissions are not in #s but letters – ‘rwx r-x r-x’

Safari

I missed your first message above – Yes they are there, I can see them on the server.

Thank you sooo much for being so patient with me and hanging in there. For me it’s very very late and I have been at this all day. I will have to start again tomorrow.
Thank you and Kind regards to you too.
