I'm running into a curious problem with the Twenty Eleven theme. I have copied the theme to my own folder (using it to create a new theme...I should have gone the child-theme route but...I didn't). So far all is good. Now I want to create a custom verson of the sidebar-page.php template.
- I grab the template page that has a sidebar: sidebar-page.php
- I make an exact copy, changing the name to sidebar-page2.php
- I change the template name of the new file from "Sidebar Template" to "Sidebar Template2"
- I upload (no changes to the structure of the template)
- I change a page's template to "Sidebar Template2" from "Sidebar Template"
Load the page, it looks different. It's almost as if the content is more centered, the H1 tag for the page is moved down, to the right and is bigger.
I can't find any info on this. I found one post where someone had the same problem (on another site) but no solution.
