Changing Header Image Issues

    Just created a child theme and everything is displaying and working as it should.

    Apart from when I try and change the header image. I have tried using one from the Media Library or uploading one but the righthand wordpress pane just freezes.

    I had no problems until I created the child theme, but everything else is working fine.

    Is there certain files I should have in the child theme folder other than the stylesheet?

    This seems to have resolved itself so I am guessing this was a hosting issue.

    I can’t remove the header image by clicking buttons in the customizer while running a small child of this theme. I’m not hosting it anywhere, yet, I’m running MAMP locally.

    I can confirm that there is no way to remove the default header image without replacing it with your own image. At the current version, the black and white photo of a gravel road is included if you don’t upload a header image.

    <div class="header section small-padding bg-dark bg-image" style="background-image: url(<?php if (get_header_image() != '') : ?><?php header_image(); ?><?php else : ?><?php echo get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg'; ?><?php endif; ?>);">
