    My site can be viewed here.

    Here is a screenshot of how it is supposed to look like based on the Unite theme template: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126659175@N02/16202510970/

    If you notice the link to my website there is no purple in the template and my theme (which is a child theme) looks nothing like the actual Unite wordpress theme which is the parent theme I have installed. My child theme is activated already.

    I also noticed that the child theme when I go to appearance> editor there is no header.php or footer.php so I have absolutely no clue how to edit the head and footer code of my website in the child theme for when I need to make changes. Help is appreciated.

    Many of the PHP changes you can do in the Functions.php file in your child-theme. If you need to make a change in your HEADER or FOOTER php files, copy them from the theme files and paste them in your child-theme with what ever edits you added.(Don’t edit the core or theme files themselves) The downside however is that when you update your theme then you must update your HEADER/FOOTER php files manually in your child-theme if there are any changes in those files during the update or the updated files may not take effect.

    Styling changes to your site are made in the STYLE.CSS file in your child-theme.
