    First time at using child theme. I’m using the twentyeleven dark theme. I have added a custom header image. Made couple changes to font color. Use the “menus” to make custom menu.

    I have tried to make a twentyeleven-child theme.
    Every time I activate the child theme it puts the site theme back to original and I lose all my changes.

    I’m I to late with the child theme? Is there no way to keep changes I made?

    Thanks for help…

    /*
    Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child
    Theme URI:
    Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme
    Author:
    Author URI:
    Template: twentyeleven
    Version: 0.1.0
    */

    @import url(“../twentyeleven/style.css”);

    #content *{
    color: #f00 !important;
    }

  • Theme settings and options don’t carry over to a child theme, so you’ll have to redo those in the child theme. Also, this has a syntax error:

    #content *{
color: #f00 !important;
}

    Take out the asterisk. You also should not use !important except in VERY limited circumstances – so try it without that after fixing the error.

    Ok, I fixed that by removing it.

    But now ALL the text on the page is justified right. Even the menu bar is now backwards. The search box is on the left and the menu links are on right side.

    If I switch back to regular twentyeleven theme the text is align the correct way
