 * You don’t have a child theme active on your site. Looks like you may have put
   the child theme folder INSIDE the parent theme – which is incorrect.
 * It should be on the same level as all the other themes:
 *     ```
       wp-content
           themes
               twentyeleven
               twentyelevenchild (or whatever you name the folder)
       ```

 * I do have a twentyeleven-child folder in the themes folder.
    Inside the child’s
   folder are: style.css, header php and a functions php.
 * Does this make sense?
