Total novice here…create a child template?
-
I am a total novice, so please bear with me! I do not understand .css, .php., etc. but I’m determined to learn! I have been reading the forums and watching tutorials – so far, so good!
I have installed WordPress and am using the default theme TwentyEleven. I initially just edited the template to start creating my own site (just following what it said to do: “delete this and add your own text!”). I was having trouble understanding how to create the menus, so I wanted to just go back to the default settings. That’s when I discovered I should have never edited the default template in the first place but should be working on a “child” template. This makes perfect sense to me. But I need a little more explanation, please.
How do I delete the current template, download a new one, and then create the child template? I’m not worried about losing the work I’ve done already, I’ll just start fresh with the child theme.
Bless all of you people out there that have the patience to help people like me!
