Hi thanks for your reply.

I know that works indeed. But when I copy the parentstheme header.php with all its content it replaces the original header.php.

When the original header.php is improved in a new version of the template and I install that new version of the template, my child-theme will still have the old unimproved header.php. You get what I mean?

Same reason that you use @import url(“../yourparenttheme/style.css”);, in stead of downloading / copying the whole style.css of your parent theme to your child theme.

I hope I explain this correct, since I am not a native english speaker.

Thanks!
