Try just to create inc/ in the child theme and copy custom-header.php from parent, modify value and I think it should work.

I tried that earlier, but I must be missing a key step as it doesn’t seem like the child theme’s inc/custom-header.php file is getting pulled in and instead it is still using the parent theme’s files.
Key notes are that the customization widget still offers a cropping for 960×350 pixels and the displayed image is unchanged.
Most likely I was wrong about including custom-header.php…
You can use functions.php for that… I forgot… Please see:
2.3 – Tip07 – Add new image size for custom post/page headers and select default header image (also see Tip39 in style.css).
You can use add_image_size to create your new size

Thanks, but I appear stuck.
I added this to functions.php
// 3.10 – Tip07 – Add new image size for custom post/page headers and select default header image.
add_image_size( ‘custom-header-image’, 960, 150, true); // Hardcrop
as you suggested, but it had no effect.
I couldn’t find Tip39 anywhere in style.css, including the documentation on your site which seems to end at Tip37. I also looked for header-image entries in the css that might be relevant but all I saw were border and padding values, which won’t help.
Is there an easy way to just include the custom-header.php file, change the height value, without having to copy all of the theme contents down to the child?

I tried overriding the parent theme by adding this block to the functions.php in the child:
require( get_template_directory() . ‘/inc/custom-header.php’ );
}
to pick up the local inc/custom-header.php and modified that file as shown below but that generates a failure

I assume you are using your own child theme. Could you try the one that is bundled with the Tiny Framework? It’s in the /inc/examples.
Yes, I tested with bundled child theme – it works.
just uncomment that whole section:
function tinyframeworkchild_custom_header_setup…
and then inside this section uncomment only:
'height' => 350,
and change it to 150.

That did the trick. Thanks a bunch!
Could someone please help me out? I’m just about finishing the conversion of my website (real-memory-improvement.com) to the WordPress format, and I’m using the Tiny Framework (child theme). It’s been excellent, but there are a few things about it I’d like to change.
I want to make the body text a little smaller.
I want to do away with the ‘opens in a new tab’ icons for the links.
I want to style headings with different sizes and maybe a colour.
And there are probably a few other things, but nothing major, just little changes.
I’ve managed a few little changes myself but generally I can’t seem to get the hang of it.
For the link icons, for example, I’ve tried uncommenting the lines of code in Tip 25b. Nothing changed.
I tried copying them and pasting them into the custom CSS. Nothing changed.
Clearly I don’t know enough about CSS, or I’m just missing something that’s probably obvious (althoug not to me … obviously!).
If someone could give me a hand I’d appreciate it. Thank you!
