 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to create a child theme, but I can’t find where to upload the files.
   I don’t have the folders on my computer… I am very confused, so TIA! I am just
   starting to learn about html, css, php, etc. and don’t fully understand anything.
   I was trying to just make edits with CSS style sheet, but I was too limited there.
   This is especially confusing, because it seems like it should be easy. Help is
   appreciated!

 * Now I broke something…… thought I almost had it and then when I tried to insert
   the this:<?php
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ ); function
   theme_enqueue_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri().‘/
   style.css’ );
 * }
    ?> into the function file, it said this: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare theme_enqueue_styles()(
   previously declared in /home/content/p3pnexwpnas08_data02/38/3220338/html/wp-
   content/themes/responsive-childtheme-master/functions.php:4) in /home/content/
   p3pnexwpnas08_data02/38/3220338/html/wp-content/themes/responsive-childtheme-
   master/functions.php on line 19
 * even when I deleted what I pasted in, it continued to say it to the point where,
   I can’t even log into my wordpress anymore. I realize I should have changed “
   responsive” to edin which is what I’m using, but now everything is ruined and
   I dont’ know what to do.
