Default Theme Settings

I’m trying to create a child theme, all the child theme is supposed to do is to preset some of the theme options.

I have tried two different methods, neither worked…

Method 1

add_action( 'after_switch theme', 'psTheme_setup1' );

function psTheme_setup2(){
	set_theme_mod('background_image', 'http://localhost/sites/green/files/2013/01/Abstract_Green_Background_with_Floral_Elements.jpg');
}

function psTheme_setup1(){
	global $wpdb;
	$themeConfig = 'a:8:{s:16:"background_image";s:102:"http://localhost/sites/green/files/2013/01/Abstract_Green_Background_with_Floral_Elements.jpg";s:17:"background_repeat";s:9:"no-repeat";s:21:"background_position_x";s:6:"center";s:21:"background_attachment";s:6:"scroll";s:16:"background_color";s:6:"69e01f";s:12:"header_image";s:75:"http://localhost/sites/green/files/2013/01/cropped-cow-header1.jpg";s:17:"header_image_data";O:8:"stdClass":5:{s:13:"attachment_id";i:8;s:3:"url";s:75:"http://localhost/sites/green/files/2013/01/cropped-cow-header1.jpg";s:13:"thumbnail_url";s:75:"http://localhost/sites/green/files/2013/01/cropped-cow-header1.jpg";s:6:"height";i:250;s:5:"width";i:960;}s:16:"header_textcolor";s:6:"0e5059";}';
	$wpdb->insert($wpdb->options, [
			'option_name'=>'theme_mods_green2012',
			'option_value'=>$themeConfig
		],['%s','%s']);
	$wpdb->update(
		$wpdb->options,
		['option_value'=>$themeConfig],
		['option_name'=>'theme_mods_green2012'],
		['%s'],['%s']
		);

}

That’s it for the entire theme. The parent is “Twenty Twelve”. After switching themes, there has been no modification to the database. The big string I am trying to update the database with is a copy/paste from mysql.
