Missing one line in style.css top comment block
Template: highwind
So try this
/*
Theme Name: Highwind Child
Theme URI: https://jameskoster.co.uk/highwind/
Description: Highwind is a lightweight, free WordPress theme designed to showcase content. It features a clean design with a strong focus on typography, plus a bunch of presentational options and widgetised regions allowing you to give your site a unique touch.

*/
and in functions.php don’t forget to begin it with opening php tag, the ending is optional and better to not have one.
That filter might or might not work depends on the hook order, must see how parent theme manage to hook it.
Also, check this out.

Okay, I changed to this:
functions.php:
<?php
add_filter( ‘highwind_header_gravatar’, ‘jk_remove_header_gravatar’ );
function jk_remove_header_gravatar() {
return false;
style.css:

Still no luck. Any ideas?
The function is missing the closing curly brace.
The stylesheet looks right to me.
What didn’t work ? What’s the error message ?
I’m not getting an error message. The header is still just showing the blank circular image.
I’m sorry I don’t quite understand. So this is not about trouble with child theme. This is about gravatar not showing up in the header area of theme, and you don’t want to fix it ? you want to take it out ?
I just installed this theme in my local dev, the admin gravatar displays as header image just fine. So if your gravatar doesn’t showup, make sure the admin email is the same one with gravatar account.
Still, if you really want to take it out, use this in child theme’s functions.php (assuming your child theme installed properly).
add_filter( 'highwind_header_gravatar', '__return_false' );
To use gravatar from different email other than admin email, use his
add_filter( 'highwind_header_gravatar_email', 'my_site_avatar' );
function my_site_avatar( $email ) {
$email = 'myemail@example.com';
return $email;
}
@drivehomepodcast You did activate the child theme, right? 🙂
