 * use the following in your child functions.php (don’t use the ones above):
    require_once(
   get_stylesheet_directory() . ‘/inc/assets/template-functions.php’); copy the 
   assets folder to your child theme. the extra content goes in base-wp-child ->
   inc -> assets -> template-functions.php just below the_custom_logo(); (line 11)
   ie echo ‘<div>some content</div>’; I hope that explains it better Rob

    Instead of using: require get_template_directory() . ‘/inc/assets/template-

 * Update:
    I have added the extra content in base-wp -> inc -> assets -> template-
   functions.php just below the_custom_logo(); (line 11) ie echo ‘<div>some content
   </div>’; This works as it is now placed in the correct div – ‘<div class=”site-
   branding”>’. I really want to stick to using the child theme, but when I place
   the assets folder in the child theme and make the above changes in there instead
   of the parent, it does not recognise it. I added require get_template_directory().‘/
   inc/assets/template-functions.php’; to my functions.php but this throws an error
   Cannot redeclare igthemes_adjust_color_brightness() (previously declared in ….
   base-wp So this is now a problem of over-riding parent theme functions, I guess.
   There has to be an easier way. Cheers Rob

 * Hi,
    My error. I had given up on my child theme style sheet and had started editing
   the parent theme style sheet, which I never do. I forgot that the child style
   sheet still had references to [@media](https://wordpress.org/support/users/media/)
   801px. Anyway your method in the post one year ago works. I have decided to use
   the ‘responsive menu’ plugin as this gives a better look, I find anyway. If anyone
   wishes to use that plugin then in the options ‘css menu to hide’ is #site-navigation.
   The theme itself is terrific and it has allowed me to do a huge amount of things
   that I couldn’t do with other themes. Please keep up the great work.
