Completely justified – and understandable! Nice one

Which domain name are you referring to? Which one violates WP copyright?

sorry that should be rgb(255,255,230); – with a bracket

All is now good – thanks to all who have offered helpful comments. The final problem (“I’m seeing something that’s is not the circles. You should be able to upload your header image via some theme options, then you can edit the child theme’s css”) was simply caused by the theme defaulting back to an original theme image – probably because I was switching back and forth (from child to main) and constantly changing the style.css file

Not quite Josiah.

I can do the white print in the header – works fine. However, I have an uploaded header image and when I activate the child theme the white print shows, but on the original “circles” default 2013 theme header image. I have copied the header file across from main 2013 theme to 2013 child theme – but it is obviously not enough because it doesn’t work. What else do I need to do?
Thanks

David

And the answer is…..

Don’t call the theme folder “child of twentythirteen”
Call it “child-of-twentythirteen”

and finally…..

I put this style.css into my child of twentythirteen theme – and (after activating the child theme) the style sheet is still not picked up. What else needs to be done?

/*

Theme Name: Child of Twenty Thirteen
Description: Child theme based on Twenty Thirteen
Author: David Thain
Version: 1.0.0
Template: twentythirteen

*/

/* Imports all styles from the Twenty Thirteen stylesheet */
@import url(‘../twentythirteen/style.css’);

Thanks again

Thanks again

Just to take this question to its logical conclusion. If the twentythirteen theme is upgraded (as it surely will be) what then needs to be done to the twentythirteen child theme?

Eureka! Thank you, aptly named WPyogi
Do I need to put all the twentythirteen theme files into the twentythirteen child theme folder?

Here comes perhaps the dumbest killer question. I looked at my WP site and it seems I cannot Activate both the twentythirteen theme and the child of twentythirteen theme at the same time. I activate one and the other is de-activated and vice versa. How do I do both at once

I’ve just put it back. It’s this:

/*

Theme Name: Child of Twenty Thirteen
Description: Child theme based on Twenty Thirteen
Author: DT
Version: 1.0.0
Template: twentythirteen

*/

/* Imports all styles from the Twenty Twelve stylesheet */
@import url('../twentythirteen/style.css');

	position: relative;

Yes it is the multicolored circled 2013 and this is the site https://www.writewritingwrotewritten.com
