Right way to make customizations to header.php

[tompickle]

Hey Jason,

So I’m running on a child theme set up now but I need to make a change to header.php. How do I go about doing that through my child theme? All I need to add is
so I can make a few things different with the responsive nature of the theme.

Thanks for your help,

Tom

Hello Tom,

From your Child theme’s functions.php, you want to hook your custom content to one of header.php‘s action hooks.

Here’s how actions hook work in general with WordPress:

Here’s the framework’s actions you can hook into:

And here’s a basic example:

function my_before() {
	?>
	your HTML here ...
	<?php
}
add_action( 'themeblvd_before', 'my_before' );
