If its that, then i will just look for a workaround. 80% of whats on that link is Greek to me. Thanks again.

No cache plugin installed. Unfortunately i cant link to the site as it is not publicly available. If you can think of something else, let me know. If not, i will work around it somehow. Thanks.

I deleted the new form and started from scratch. Guess what? That “reconfirm your email” label is still there under the Change field label section. As a matter of fact, i have 5 current forms and all of them now show it in their change field label sections. What makes it more annoying is that whenever i now enable the double email check mark, this is what is right above the empty text field:

E-Mail Address again:*
Reconfirm your email.

Looks like i am stuck in some kind of loop. I have triple checked and there is nothing next to any field labels. Any other help you can offer?

That double email setting that was not there before is back now. Maybe it was some sort of server glitch on my side. However, for the second issue, replacement labels have been erased but the status remains the same. I think i will just delete and start fresh. Thanks.

I successfully upgraded to 3.51 this morning. Thanks again Yogi.

Thanks Yogi. Thats exactly what it was. I had to redo the the changes i had made to the theme. Now that all that is done, i will now attempt to upgrade to WP 3.5.1. I hope that goes well……

Just noticed something that may help out. After changing back to the child, i went to Appearance/header from WP admin page and noticed that everything is now defaulted to standard 2011 theme. I then switched back to the parent and noticed my custom pics and text colors were there. Is this what the issue is? Do i have to reconfigure after i switch to child theme?

Its currently not active since whenever i go to it the header color, height and pictures are the default twentyeleven and look out of place. I am still using the parent for now.

Unfortunately i cant link to it as it is not publicly accessible. The text up top is just like this:

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven child theme
Description: test theme
Author: Tester
Author URI: https://mysite.com
Template: twentyeleven
*/

@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");

Of the 2700 lines of code listed in styles.css (Yes i know some lines are blank), my changes are only about 30 lines. For now while i am still trying to figure it out, i will leave it as is (i.e. an exact copy of parent css) since you say it is not ideal but should still work.
I am confused as to the last two things you asked about: whats in the header and theme settings not carrying through.

Thanks Yogi. I did not get any fatal errors so i guess that is a good start. However, it did not work. My header height, pictures and colors defaulted to the standard twentyeleven ones. FYI, i have header.php, footer.php, style.css and function.php in my child theme folder. Custom text i put in footer.php showed up when i switched to the child theme. The style.css file is essentially the same one from the parent except for the custom text at the top that identify this as a child theme.

I just discovered that contrary to what i said earlier, only 2 lines of code were changed in my original function.php file. The lines are below:

define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH', apply_filters( 'twentyeleven_header_image_width', 1000 ) );
define( 'HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT', apply_filters( 'twentyeleven_header_image_height', 200 ) );

For the new function.php that will go in the child theme, i am still lost. I know those 2 lines have to go in it but what else do i need to put in there? Please use the simplest terms as its obvious i am not strong in this field. Thanks.

okay. Will try later. Thanks.

Wait a sec. Did you mean just the changes alone or the entire changed function.php?

Thanks. Will try this evening and report back.
