I should of mentioned the theme in the title, my apologies.

The theme i’m using is twentytwelve but i’ve also uploaded
Twenty Twelve Dark – because i needed the dark b/ground.

dev site is dev site

original site is my sitewhich is currently re-directed to weebly. (i was hosting my own website but i made some jquery changes and stuffed it right up so deleted it) hence the weebly.

with functions.php – no;
functions.php in the child theme should only contain changes made via pluggable functions, filters, actions, etc – but not a copy of the functions.php from the parent theme

mmmm, i haven’t made changes to it yet…. but the theme came with a functions.php file so i just left it there.

the change i need to make is adding a couple of divs and ul to the header so i can display my media icons at the very top of the site. ‘this is according to a youtube tutorial i found’

thank-you.

ok i’m going to have a read…. thank-you.

I’ve placed
header.php
functions.php
footer.php
home.php
styles.php

inside the child theme i’m using.

just trying to understand the structure so please be patient with my questions. I’ve been reading so much that instead of making sense it just shambled my brain!

great thank-you.

for a novice like me, would you be able to tell me if there is any documentation on this? an example of some sort?

well… this is my problem… i did originally create a child theme and it worked. but then i decided i wanted the dark theme so i installed that. the stylesheet is a child of twentytwelve already. (so not sure if i can do another stylesheet under that) but >>> i just installed ‘custom css manager plugin’ and started to make some styling changes *minimal*

I did create a header.php and kind of works, but is residing in the twentytwelve folder.
