    I had successfully made a child theme and worked on it. When my website was completed i copied “content.php” and “functions.php” from my parent theme to child theme i order to make a backup (in which i was wrong).
    Now i found that content.php and functions.php should not be copied to child theme only style.css is necessary. when i delete those files from my child theme ,my style.css stopped working now . please help me….i tried to make a fresh copy of ” functions.php” file in my child theme but when i tried to enqueue it using:

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );
function enqueue_parent_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}

    the error has shown up :

    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' ); function enqueue_parent_styles() { wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' ); }
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home1/aliraza7/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen-child/functions.php:4) in /home1/aliraza7/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178

    Can you post the contents of your child theme’s functions.php to Pastebin and post the link here?

    actually i have made a child theme just for a backup and my website is simple, i dont know much of php so i didn’t bothered to change/add something to functions.php ,
    besides i just added the code to enqueue my style.css

    Is that your entire functions.php? Do you have the opening <?php tag? If not, it needs to be on a line by itself and it should be the very first thing in the file: no spaces, tabs, line breaks, etc., before it:

    <?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_styles' );
function enqueue_parent_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
}
