    I created a child theme and loaded it up. This is the error I got back. I tried to go back to the original theme and got the same error!
    Help

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare twentyeleven_excerpt_length() (previously declared in /home/content/73/9081873/html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven-child/functions.php:335) in /home/content/73/9081873/html/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 337

    Did you copy the functions.php file from the parent to the child?

    If you created a Child Theme, it should just consist of a style.css file to begin with. Remove that functions.php file.

    So I need to delete everything from the child folder except the style.css?

    Yes, but leave header.php in there because we’ll need that for later.

    Also in your style.css file, make sure you’re importing the stylesheet over like the example. At the moment you’re just copying all the styles instead.

    I did the import command:

    @import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

    But the child theme is giving me the default Twentyeleven I thought it would be a duplicate of my current theme. Instead I’m getting the default settings.

    Is that right?

    I was able to get my original theme back. I had to reload the custom code Andrew helped me with. I am going to need to study this some more before I implement anymore changes.
