Hi,
I'm quite new to all this but it occurred to me that in order to follow this tutorial and stick to the best practice guidance you would need to include the additional php code (from functions.php in the project downloads) to the existing functions.php file and NOT overwrite it. Similarly any additional css code from the downloadable style.css to the existing style.css - to keep this all working.
The header.php file was a new addition so all is fine with that one.
it's worked for me, hope it helps cheers

1,396 PointsI should have been more specific - It does matter if you're using the best practice method 'wp_enqueue' and not the '@import' method in these tutorials
