 * i made a child theme of twenty twelve, and i’m trying to basically copy/paste
   the header.php of the parent to the child, but i keep getting a timeout.
 * i can paste maybe half the header, it looks like up to the </head>, but if i 
   add anymore, it keeps giving me page cannot be displayed.
 * i talked to server company, everything seems fine.. any ideas what this could
   be?

 * Have you tried simply uploading the header.php in your child theme via FTP?
    
   I find it easier to work in a text editor and just update the child theme that
   way.

 * yes i have tried this 2 times Christine.. the oddest thing happens, when i go
   to see it after i upload it, it is empty! the odd thing is when im uploading 
   it, it takes about 15-30 seconds to upload it as if it is not working correctly…
   i really cant make any sense of it. then i open it in editor (and i know the 
   file is there, i have the original file on my computer all filled in all ready)
   and there is nothing there.
 * it doesnt make any sense. im thinking it has to be a bug or something with twentytwelve
   because this doesnt happen with other themes… i wanted to use this theme too!
   boo

 * That is weird. I’ve created a TwentyTwelve Child theme and had no issues.
 * Have you tried:
    – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem?
   If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic
   plugin(s).
