UGH… But thanks.

Wish I knew about this first… Onto recreating them I suppose.

Going back to the original, there are no includes in the style sheet that indicate the template.

The Child theme page says that it will still continue to pull from the parent theme folder, but it doesn’t look like it does.

SO do I have to copy all of the info in the original file into the child theme folder for it to work properly?

I went back and reactivated the twenty eleven theme that I have been working on directly and it’s all back again.

What am I missing here? All I want to do is keep my settings for the colors, backgrounds etc.

I’ve re-read the child themes page and it doesn’t say anything about having to redo the menu’s and widgets when using the new css.

I guess I’ll just have to keep a copy of it saved for an update and just reinstall it?

Since I made changes directly to the css in the main twentyeleven folder, I just copied and pasted it as the new css in the new folder.
SO I have the entire css in there and don’t need to import that from the original, or do I?
I figure the original will be updated at some point and return to normal, but mine will still be used right?
So how about all the customizations that aren’t there now?
Taking a deep breath!

ok, so now I have the new one activated, had to change the location to the themes folder, not twentyeleven.
However, I’ve lost things along the way… hmmm this is getting frustrating!
I’ve lost my widgets, my menu, my pictures for the header, etc.
UGH…
What do I have to import into the css so that I get all those back and working as well?
Do I need to put the child theme folder directly into the twentyeleven theme folder or keep it in the themes?
Thanks!

This is the error message I get:

Broken Themes

The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
Twenty Eleven/twentyeleven-child Template is missing.

Anyone have help for me? Thanks!

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child
Theme URI: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/twentyeleven/twentyeleven-child
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme
Author: 1centwiz
Author URI:
Template: twentyeleven
Version: 8.1.12
*/
@import url(“../twentyeleven/rtl.css”);

This is what I have at the top of my style.css in the new folder… so what are they wanting me to do?

Aww…now it says I need a template… yet the info says it’s optional… hmmm.

Ok, so now I have created a file in the twentyeleven file called twentyeleven-child. It has the style.css in it that I have been working on.
How do I implement it though? There isn’t anywhere in the admin to choose that file. What am I missing?
Thanks!

A child theme? Oops… been working on the style.css directly. Now what do I do? Will it be difficult to go backwards at this point? Eek!
Onto more learning then, alchymyth, thanks for the link!

Such a dummy I am… I just changed the header just fine… adding a height and changing the margins on the titles… duh! Sometimes looking at tons of code can get to the eyes…
Now to look for the post comment box colors.

1centwiz here…
updated to twenty-eleven.
deactivated all plugins.
set perma-links to default.

still no kitchen sink.

deleted page, recreated page, still no kitchen sink.

adding coding per – https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/multiple-galleries-1 , still nothing shows up.

Also, side bar widgets menu is not showing up either.

Thanks for any help! Cheers, Tamra

As you can see, I have set up the categories to go with the pages I plan to rebuild. However, until I get this album/gallery issues resolved I can’t build any of the pages.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Here’s the site..

https://www.turningdranch.com/blog/resident-galleries/

However, when I posted it, now there is two of the pages on the menu at the top..weird.
The password to get in should be dexter as it needs to be password protected, but nothing shows up.

I have coded it per Nextgen [gallery id=1] etc.

Hmmmm… how did I get two pages I am wondering as well?

Thanks for link above for the update as it worked. However, now I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function self_admin_url() in /data/0/0/5/156/5971/user/6103/htdocs/blog/wp-admin/includes/update-core.php on line 698

Any ideas as to what this one means?

To esmi, I think the bug appeared somewhere in one of the plugins as they stopped updating and I couldn’t delete them. I am going to be ubber careful of what I add now…

Thanks!
