child header.php

Dear Guy,

if you would like to make some modifications in the “header.php” template, please copy the original “header.php” into your child theme’s folder and make here the desired modifications. Your child theme’s “header.php” will override the equivalent file in the parent theme directory.
Here in the WordPress Codex, you can find more useful information about managing child themes.

It depends on what you need to edit in the “header.php”. For example, if you would like to modify some elements (menus, site title, etc.) in the “header.php”, then you will need to copy the original template. If you do not need to modify any default elements, then you could use an “include” or “require_once” (the mentioned post in the support topic which you have referenced only says that it is not recommended to use the “@import url” – the better way is to use the “include” or “require_once” for including the parent template).
Note: If you would like to add some script into the header, the best way how to do it is by using the wp_enqueue_script functions through your child theme’s “functions.php”.

To attach a custom Javascript, you do not need to edit the “header.php”. Just add the following code into your child theme’s “functions.php” to enqueue the “hidefieldsScript.js” script (which has to be placed into the “js” sub-folder within your child theme’s main folder):

function minezine_child_scripts() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'minezine-child-hidefields', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/hidefieldsScript.js', array( 'jquery' ), '1.0.0', false );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'minezine_child_scripts' );

You are welcome! 🙂
