    Hi,

    I’m a newbie, just got my site up and found a really nice video on YouTube that showed me how to create a child theme of the theme I’m using (twentyeleven). Any I followed the video, and successfully created a child theme. My question is now the only file I have on my child theme is style.css, so how am I suppossed to modify my site if the files I need are contain in the original theme (twentyeleven) and not the child theme? For example, I want to modify the header, so I need the header.php file, but this is in the original theme and not the child theme.

    What you’ll want to do is make a copy of the header.php and add that to your child theme folder. Once you’ve done that, then you can make changes to the header.php of your child.
    You can do that with any template.
    For example, I always take the comments out of my page.php. I just make a copy of that template, add it to my theme and then remove the comment tag in the page.php.
