    I have created a child theme (of the delicate theme) following the step by step instructions provided by WordPress. I am now struggling to make any changes. First of all I would like to remove the ‘search’ function on the top right corner but I can’t for my life figure out where in the code this is. Also even if I manage to find it – it will be in the parent directory (delicate theme) and surely I’m not allowed to remove it from there…

    How do you remove things (like this function) from the child theme?

    I would also like to make the header image bigger. At the moment it is set to width 970 and height 225 px but I want to change it to height 430 px.

    I changed the code to 430 px and updated the style sheet of my child theme (see code below) but nothing happened. It still crops my images to 225 px – any solutions?

    .slideshow-bg {width:970px; height:430px; position:relative; overflow:hidden;}
.slideshow-bg #left-arrow {left: 15px; background:url("images/arrow-left.jpg") no-repeat;}
.slideshow-bg #right-arrow {right:15px; background:url("images/arrow-right.jpg") no-repeat;}
.slideshow-bg #left-arrow, .slideshow-bg #right-arrow {position:absolute; top:45%; display: block; width:21px; height:28px;}
.slideshow-bg #left-arrow:hover, .slideshow-bg #right-arrow:hover {opacity:0.5;}
.slideshow-bg .slideshow-main {padding:5px 25px 30px 60px;}
.slideshow-bg .slideshow {overflow:hidden; width:970px; margin-bottom:15px; background:#F9F9F9; position:relative;}
.slideshow-bg .slideshow, .slideshow-bg .slideshow > div {height:430px; width:970px;}
.slideshow .desc {float:left; width:370px; padding:13px; margin-top:10px;}
.slideshow .desc h2 {padding-bottom:28px;}
.slideshow .desc h2 a {font-size:41px; font-weight:bold;}

#slideshow-nav {position:absolute; left:47%; bottom:0px;}
#slideshow-nav a.activeSlide {background:url("images/pagination-small.png") no-repeat 0 0;}
#slideshow-nav a {background:url("images/pagination-small.png") no-repeat 0 -9px; display:block; float:left; height:9px; margin:0 1px; text-indent:-9999px; width:9px;}

    Either copy the header file to your child theme and remove the search code, or edit your CSS to use display:none; and hide it.

    I moved this post to the themes section.
