If the theme gets updated because of feature enhancements, bug fixes, or security patches, or if the theme has to be updated because of a change to the WordPress core, then your changes will be lost. Instead, create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and make your changes to a copy of header.php. * In your child theme copy of header.php, you’ll want to remove everything starting with this line: * ``` ``` * Note that by removing the header, you will not see the site title on your site. There are other ways of making the header smaller if it’s too big. * Thread Starter [Achintha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/achintha/) * (@achintha) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-header-4/#post-6252187) * Thank you very much for the support CrouchingBruin. * If i am to reduce the size of the Header What Should i Do?? I first wanted to reduce the size of the Header, i searched for any plugin but couldn’t locate one..That’s why i thought of removing it. * Thank you, Achintha * [CrouchingBruin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crouchingbruin/) * (@crouchingbruin) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-header-4/#post-6252231) * Ues a CSS plugin, like Jetpack or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/). Then add these two CSS rules: * ``` @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) { .site-header { height: 449px; } .site-branding { padding: 150px 0; } } ``` * The first rule controls the height of the header. The second rule positions the site title inside the header. The values listed are what is currently in effect. You can try reducing the height to 300px and the padding to 75px (from 150px) to make the header shorter. Note that it’s inside a media query, so it only affects screen sizes larger than a tablet (desktop sizes). * Thread Starter [Achintha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/achintha/) * (@achintha) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-header-4/#post-6252249) * Thank you soo much CrouchingBruin.
