   Hi,

   Im using twentyten but want to modify the header. I have created a child theme and put in style.css and activated the new theme as per the codex instructions. I have then put in a copy of header.php and made changes but its just not being picked up.

   Im new to child themes and how they work. Do i need to delete the header.php from the praent directory to make this work?? I have tried modifying that one as a test and the changes show.

   Thanks

   Did you add "Template: twentyten" in the header of your Child Theme? It should look something like this:

   /*
   Theme Name: Your Child Theme Name
   Theme URI: http://yourURL.com
   Description: A child theme of the 2010 default theme for WordPress.
   Author: Your Name
   Author url: http://yourURL.com
   Version: 1.0
   Tags: put, your, tags, here
   Template: twentyten
   */

   Then you put all your styles underneath that.
