• So I keep running into the same problem with creating a child theme based on a Genesis-based theme. This picture shows the problem I’m running into.

    The only difference that I have made between these two sites is one has an added child theme with a functions.php (that includes only the code below) and a style.css that is empty other than descriptive comments:

    `add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘theme_enqueue_styles’ );
    function theme_enqueue_styles() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-style’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );`

    The other site is without the child theme.

    To my knowledge, when the child theme site loads it should not look different than the parent, or am I wrong?

    My problem is that it not only looks different but the coding is even different. Where it says “Just Another WordPress Site”, the parent has it in H2 where the child has it as a P. ….. I’m stumped. I didn’t consciously change the code. What happened?

    My Goal: I want the child to look exactly like the parent, but I wanted to make modifications in the child to alter small things in the parent – for security’s sake so that when the theme updates, it doesn’t mess with the styling and content. Ex. I want the footer content to change from Genesis copyright to some other text.

    I know I’ve got to be missing something and it’s driving me crazy.

    That’s unfortunate, but no one here has access to commercial theme code either. Which is one reason they are not supported on these forums, sorry. Do they not have an option to pay for support?
