I tried consulting this: [http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_functions.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_functions.asp) * but I’m not sure where they’re telling me to type what they’re asking me to type.

I read through a lot of responses to other questions on here as well and am now seeing in some of your responses that I must edit some sort of .php. Where can I find functions.php or any other .php for that matter? I saw somewhere that it should be listed in the sidebar of the theme editor right under style.css and rtl.css but I don’t see it. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Changes to Child Theme not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-to-child-theme-not-working/) * Thread Starter [mvd205](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mvd205/) * (@mvd205) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changes-to-child-theme-not-working/#post-2712740) * Ok, now I’m able to get some things to change. I.e. when I type in the following, the width of the header image changes: * h1,headerimg{ width: 50px; } * If I try to do anything with the height (which is really what I’m trying to do) nothing happens. Why?!? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [I want to install issue plugin..

Is there another way to find the twenty eleven child theme that bypasses the above address?

I read on the codex how to do that and typed in wordpress.org/wp-content when I got the message that I was temporarily banned for, yes, “unsavory behaviour” (those words exactly) concerning my use of the forum. I tried accessing the content area again just now and it says that wordpress is experiencing problems. Hope that helps… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [I want to install issue plugin..

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
