adding padding was perfect, thanks!

I had a similar issue and this really helped me. I figured out it was because I was trying to replace the css file each time it didn’t look quite right.

It worked much better to create a new folder each time I wanted to make a change. I was unable to delete a few of the ones I tried to replace because it gave me an error saying nothing was there. So there are 5 “child”like folders, which is a little messy.

But my changes worked, so thank you!

This site has been pretty helpful in starting with a child theme.

Thanks you alchymyth.

Thanks Esmi,

I finally figured out the FTP child theme upload. I’m assuming that I add the code I want for the changes before I upload it. I think I can find the code online.
??
I appreciate the guidance.

Is there somewhere to find the original twenty ten code so I can compare and fix what I change?

Thanks alchymyth, I’ll be able to use this a little later.

I’m just learning where to go to access the FTP files in order to create a root install and then a new directory.

Would I access wp-content/themes through general settings in WP or through my host by creating an FTP account?

thanks again.

Thanks esmi,

After doing some research, I think first I need to create a root install for wordpress to have it’s own directory. And then I need to make another directory to start the child theme. I know I need to access FTP files to make these changes.

Do I make the changes through Bluehost by creating a subdomain or creating an FTP Account, or do I make the changes through WordPress general settings?

For example, the child theme says to “Make a new directory in wp-content/themes, and name it twentyeleven-child (or anything you like).”
I’m trying to figure out:
-where do I go to get to “wp-content/themes”
-If I need to create a root install first in order to have and access said files
-how to create a new directory after that

thanks for your guidance.
