    Hello,

    I’ve tried setting up a child theme to the twenty eleven theme in order to make some modifications to my site.

    The first step was simply to create the file style.css for the child theme per the instructions provided by your documentation and then activate the child them.

    Note that I have no actual code setup to customize anything yet, nothing below the /*Theme customization starts here*/ yet when I activate the child theme, everything about the look of my site changes. Menus change, fonts change, etc.

    Please help. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Here is the code for my file style.css which I’ve placed inside a new folder called “twentyeleven-child” inside the themes folder.

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Theme
    Theme URI: http: //69.195.124.167/~eastbbc2/
    Description: This is a custom child theme I have created.
    Author: Deborah
    Author URI: http: //69.195.124.167/~eastbbc2/
    Template: twentyeleven
    Version: 1.7
    */
    
    @import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");
    
    /* =Theme customization starts here
    -------------------------------------------------------------- */

    Please disregard. I figured this out. I was inadvertantly overwriting my full theme’s style.css with the child theme’s style.css, hence the error. Problem solved.
