# Responsive Child theme header.php causes problem

 * I am using responsive theme by cyberchimp and I usually create a child theme 
   to do my editing in the files. I usually can copy as many files in the parent
   theme into the child theme such as page.php, single.php, header.php,… to edit
   them.
 * However, lately I also copied the header.php to edit it. But as soon as I have
   copied this file and upload it even without editing it yet, I lose the responsive
   header menu. Removing this file fixes the problem, but then I can’t edit it.
 * Can anyone know why this happens please?
    Thanks

 * On another attempt, I removed the child header.php and instead modified the parent
   file. Then I lost the responsivenss of the menu. Went back and undid what I did
   on the file and uploaded it as it was in the first place, then I lost the responsive
   menu all together on mobiles.
 * This is acting so weird!!!
