 * Hi
 * I have made a child theme and I am trying to make a separate page with another
   loop.
 * I made a file called blog.php in my child theme folder but when I link to that
   file from the nav I get the message:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function
   get_header() in /wp-content/themes/cleanr-child/blog.php
 * What am I doing wrong?
    I guess I lack knowledge about working with child themes.
   But I can’t find any relevant information.
 * Some help would be wonderful.

 * I got the same error when putting the file blog.php in the theme folder.
 * Why does this not work?
