Maybe you’re right.
Creating a child theme is a BCP, as noted in the WordPress documentation, and I figured “why re-invent the wheel?” But maybe I just need to make this a standalone theme.
In fact, I just removed the line
Template: twentyeleven
from my style.css, and the theme is still working perfectly. So, yes, I’m thinking that that is the solution.
Thanks
I can’t believe no one took into account that this situation might occur. I will have to stick with my current workaround for now (modifying the parent’s files), but what exactly is the point of having a child theme if I do that?
I just want to get rid of the theme options page entirely. None of the options for twentyeleven are applicable to my theme.
Can I unregister the theme options page? I already do that with the widget areas (unregister the ones that were registered by twentyeleven, then I register one of my own).
