I am no expert in this aspect of WP but I am willing to look into it for you.

What is the full header you have created in your child stylesheet?

Hi 

Full header, how do you mean?

I've created a 'style.css' file and put it in a theme folder called 'twentyelvenchild'

in the new 'style.css' there is this text (except for some other comments like theme name, template etc. at top):

/* importing from twentyeleven original */

@import url("../twentyeleven/style.css");

/* just for test that this is working */

#site-title a { color: #009900; }

Thanks

'except for some other comments like theme name, template etc. at top'

Sorry - that was the bit I meant. The information at the top (head).

yes, please show us your header info at the top of the stylesheet...  it has to have some specific info like identifying it as child theme...  something like

/*
Theme Name:     Twenty Eleven Child
Theme URI:      http://example.com/
Description:    Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme
Author:         Your name here
Author URI:     http://example.com/about/
Template:       twentyeleven
Version:        0.1.0
*/

where Template: identifies the parent theme...

haha obviously I do the opposite of what you meant 🙂 here is the whole top part:

 

/*
Theme Name: Twenty Eleven Child Theme
Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/extend/th.....entyeleven
Author: Aldrin
Author URI: http://wordpress.org/
Description: Child theme for the Twenty Eleven theme Template: twentyeleven
Version: 1.0
*/

/* =Reset default browser CSS. Based on work by Eric Meyer: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools.....index.html

The Theme URI MUST point to the location of your child theme. That is the only way it is found by WP.

Plus I believe you need the 'template' item as shown in Steve's post above
