I opted to stay with 3.0.10 & lose the template files for the child theme. Thanks for the help.
@rdellconsulting – The template files (index.php, header.php, footer.php, comments.php) did have some modifications… Thanks for your help.
I pretty much had the same problem. The only thing that displays on homepage is the footer content… I am also using a child theme. Do you think I need to update that as well?
