You’re right it seems to have been a plugin. I used to use TinyMCE Advanced for styling. Once I disabled it, everything seems to work ok. Thanks.

It’s now working! Not sure why it wasn’t before.

I created the folder “twentyseventeen-child”. I added the style.css as:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Seventeen Child
Theme URI: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/twentytwentyone/
Description: Twenty Seventeen child theme
Author: www.ads-software.com
Author URI: https://www.ads-software.com/
Template: twentyseventeen
Version: 1.0.0
Text Domain: twentyseventeenchild
*/

And then I created functions.php in the same folder with:

<?php 
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'twentyseventeen_enqueue_styles' );

function twentyseventeen_enqueue_styles() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 
		'twentyseventeen-parent-style', 
		get_parent_theme_file_uri( 'style.css' )
	);
}
?>

Thanks for you help. Even if the style sheet part didn’t work, I don’t now why the child theme is not picking up the page-blah.php templates from the parent’s folder. My WP installation resides in its own /index/ folder in my site root, if that matters.

If you literally take the stock twenty seventeen theme and create a simple child theme for it as in the instructions (it supposedly only required those 2 files), hopefully you can validate what I’m seeing. If you say that the child theme looks like the parent theme on your end, then I’ll know something about my installation isn’t right, maybe a conflict with some plug in, I don’t know. It’s a very basic site for my portfolio.
