 * Hello again,
    I have one other thought which is that my database may be overriding
   my child theme. I did a little digging and found that the tables corresponding
   to my current theme are significantly different than the table for my child theme.
   If they are of use to anyone, I can post them here, but for now it’s enough to
   say that my controls within theme customization of wp-admin seem to be overridden
   by something in my database. A final complication is that this 2011 theme was
   modified by my predecessor and I have not been able to identify where he made
   the visual alterations to the stock theme, which in turn makes me suspect that
   he altered something which is now affecting my child theme.
 * You can probably tell that I’m not a WP theme developer, and so I would appreciate
   any breadcrumbs or clarifying questions regarding this issue.
    Thank you again.

 * WAIT
    Belay that; this topic is not resolved.
 * Look carefully at my images. You will see that my child theme is not even importing
   the default look of the twenty eleven theme.
 * Is my child theme not pulling some theme-specific files for twentyeleven?

 * AH…
    See, the point that Alchymyth just made is new to me. I suggest that the
   codex be modified to include this point; namely that a child theme does not inherit
   theme customization.

 * Sorry, that change had no effect. I tried it once with your exact code, and one
   with this line
 *     ```
       wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
       ```
   
 * changed to this
 *     ```
       wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-theme', get_template_directory_uri() . '../twentyeleven/style.css' );
       ```

 * Hi, sorry for the delay, I was out of town.
 * Fixing the line of code in the functions.php file as you suggested did not allow
   the child theme to import all my parent styles.
    I’m still seeing, when I “preview”
   the child theme, a default twentyeleven template, with my website’s text, but
   none of my styling.
 * Let me ask you this: when a child theme is made, it should inherit all the styling
   from the parent, and look exactly the same as the parent, correct?

 * Here’s the code for the parent enqueue:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_theme_style' );
       function enqueue_parent_theme_style() {
           wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'http://www.pvccart.com/here/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/style.css' );
       }
       ```
   
 * Also, here’s my child theme style sheet for grins
 *     ```
       /*
        Theme Name:   Twenty Eleven Child
        Description:  Twenty Eleven Child Theme
        Template:     twentyeleven
        Version:      1
        Text Domain:  twenty-eleven-child
       */
   
       /* =Theme customization starts here
       -------------------------------------------------------------- */
       ```

 * Oh wow! I followed the Codex’s instructions, and the site is working again, except
   for a few design issues that I was working on before all this madness started.
 * Thanks very much for your help. I want to learn from this experience; can you
   tell me what clues you followed to solve this problem?

 * Yes, everything except the dummy index page is under /here/.
    I disable the dummy
   index by appending .bak to the file, and made sure the WP index.php and htaccess
   file were in the server’s root directory.

 * Ok, with the removal of the period prepending my htaccess file, I can now access
   a visually appalling version of my home page, but access to the wp-admin login
   page still generates a 404 Not Found.

 * Hi there,
    I’ll try the “.” mod to the .htaccess file. I also went back and realized
   that I had moved, not copied, the index.php file and .htaccess file to the root
   directory of the website. Fixed that!
 * Here’s the website URL.
    [http://www.pvccart.com](http://www.pvccart.com) This
   goes to a very very temporary “be right back” page, the previous website URL 
   was [http://www.pvccart.com/here/index.php](http://www.pvccart.com/here/index.php)
