Thanks for your help. Seems to have worked–old eyes = paren instead of bracket. I am going to leave in the rem with px fallback for now. I understand the fallback is needed for older browsers that don’t support rem–if it doesn’t work I’ll change it.

Figured it out. I had to choose the custom menu again in the child theme. All seems fine now. Thanks again for your help.

Got the child theme to generally work–still not quite sure what the problem was. But thanks for all your help. But now the contents of the navigation bar is different from Twenty Twelve when I activate the child theme, even though I haven’t added anything in the child theme that would affect the navigation bar. In the Twenty Twelve theme I have set up 5 pages, call them A, B, C, D and E, and I have set up a custom menu that has all of those pages in the navigation bar except C. But when I switch to the child theme, all five pages appear in the navigation bar. Is there another file that I should be referencing in the child theme that would pull in the custom menu, or is there some other piece of code that is missing?

style.ccs is level 5 under tearneywarner child theme

The structure as posted does not show the indents I put in the post when I wrote it–don’t know why. But site-root is level 1, wp-content is level 2, themes is level 3, twentytwelve and tearneywarner child theme are each level 4, and style.css is level 5.

Here is my file structure:

site_root (www)
wp-content
themes
twentytwelve
tearneywarner chile theme
style.css

The child theme style.css file contains the code I referred to in my first post.

As I looked at the child theme css.style code it occurred to me that perhaps the single quotation marks instead of double quotation marks in @import url(‘../twentytwelve/style.css’); might make a difference. Is that a problem? And if not, what else should I do to fix things?

Also, does it matter that my child theme folder is titled “tearneywarner chile theme” instead of “tearneywarnerchildtheme”?

Thanks.

The child theme is now active.
