   Hi Guys,

   This board is so helpful, when one of my questions has been answered I have found that it happens to solve a range of my other questions.

   My next question is this:

   I have a child theme whereby I do not want #header in its entiretly. For this what I did was copy the relevant header.php over to my child theme and remove the relevant code.

   Now, what I would like to know is whether this is achievable via functions.php. I know how to remove thematic_blogtitle and thematic_blogdescription but when I do this it still leaves an empty div on my design.

   I guess my question is, which is the correct way of doing things:
   A -Copy relevant file to child theme and remove relevant code
   B -Use functions.php file

   If its B above, how do I go about such?

   you want to completely get rid of the #header div? you could always display:none on the empty div if it is giving you problems.

   the header div is opened and closed in header.php and there isn't any way i am aware of of getting to it strictly through functions. so you would have to copy header.php into your child theme and then remove those parts.

   You could do the following in your child theme's functions.php to get an empty header div.

   function remove_child_header()
   {
   remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_brandingopen',1);
   remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogtitle',3);
   remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogdescription',5);
   remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_brandingclose',7);
   remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
   }
   add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_child_header');

   Edit: Sorry, didn't notice that you already said you don't want empty header div. There's no option but to override header.php then.

   @helgatheviking: Yes I am looking to remove #header completely? Im mainly doing this to tear apart Thematic and see what I can do with it.

   @Vasudeva Adiga: Thanks, I have never used 'after_setup_theme' before, what does that do?
