Reply To: [Assigned] How do I set up a child theme for Views-Base?

Dear jeffS-2,

for setting up a child theme you may want to review the following wordpress documentation

http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

if you want to change the PHP code for the header template file, you can include a header.php in your theme's directory.
Your child theme can overwrite any file in the parent theme this way.

Please let me know if you are satisfied with my answer and if I can help you with any other questions you might have.

Regards,
Ana
