A good number of your recommendations require modification of functions.php. In order to do this right, it appears that implementing a child theme is an appropriate first step, but I am having trouble getting mine working. I am not seeing any diagnostics, but when it comes up, it has lost much of the styling. My functions.php file contains this code:

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘iced_mocha_theme_enqueue_styles’ );
function iced_mocha_theme_enqueue_styles() {

$parent_style = ‘iced-mocha-master-style’; // This is ‘twentyfifteen-style’ for the Twenty Fifteen theme.

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'iced_mocha_theme_enqueue_styles' );

The child theme name is ‘iced-mocha-child’ and it is in the same folder as the iced-mocha-master. The iced-mocha-child theme does appear in my themes list, but when I activate it, the background goes to black.

Can you point me in the right direction here?

Thanks!
