 * Hello,
    I’m going crazy here. Using a twenty eleven child theme, I’m attempting
   to edit the function.php file to add thumbnail image sizes, and when I edit the
   file and upload it, I get a blank screen. When I upload the original functions.
   php file I get a blank screen too. I have been reading codex, support, and third
   party websites for hours, and I cannot figure out why this is happening. here
   is the site: [http://www.elainegriffindesigns.com/tester/](http://www.elainegriffindesigns.com/tester/)
   Any advice would be so appreciated. Thanks!

 * This happened to me as well. I tried copying the function.php file to my child
   theme and lost all access to wordpress. Had to delete and reinstall. Does anyone
   have any idea why this happens?
