    I am attempting to create a child theme of the twenty eleven theme which you can see HERE. The theme itself appears to be loading (I think?) but none of the graphics from the parent are loading WHICH I thought that they would.

    I created a folder titled ‘twentyeleven-child’, within that folder I put a ‘style.css’ file that reads like so:

    /*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child Theme
Author: Self-Help WordPress User
Template: twentyeleven
*/

@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");

    I dont know what I am doing wrong – i’m new to wordpress.

    Yes something was still off, but at least what I did allowed the site to be viewed as I was hoping to view it. And I did find the problem which was that there was a problem with the dreamhost install, the server my database was on was experiencing bleed or something. I don’t know what it was exactly. But the problem was found when i did new installs and wanted to know how to rename my databases — that lead to the discovery of the problem on the server which has been fixed now.

    So i always did my installs correctly from the get-go. It was just an example of ‘stuff happens’ sometimes. And it’s cool as i learned a bit about databases and troubleshooting wordPress and i learned about this site as well.

    thanks for everything

    Glad to hear it got sorted – those kinds of things can be so frustrating as they don’t show up easily… Good job on the sleuthing it out :)!

    Hi,
    I spent hours reading through the forum, but I still don’t understand why my child style.css doesn’t want to override the Twenty eleven style.css.

    Anyone has an idea?
