 * Thanks to you both. I copied a php file (footer) in cpanel from themes/twentyeleven
   to themes/twentyeleven-child and modified it. It worked perfectly. So, I will
   continue to copy php files to child as needed. The functions php file -the reason
   for not copying this would be because it only works within the parent theme perhaps?
