Hi there,
I tried to add that file in child theme (maintaining same structure), but that didnt work
That’s the correct method. You just need to copy the header.php file and paste it into the child theme folder:
https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/master/header.phpWhat are you trying to modify in the
header.phpfile?A lot of modification can be done with hooks 🙂

thanks for your comments
actually it is not main header.php, i am referring inc>structure>header.php of parent theme.
i needed to modify that file, so what i did, i copied that file in child theme. but that didnt workwould you mind to check the screenshot please?
https://www.journalbuddies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/parent-theme-file-in-child-theme.jpgBy default, WordPress only allows child theme overwrites on the first level of files – so the files directly under the theme folder.
What is that code you are trying to add?
Did the source provide any information on how to add it?

that is some buttons i wanted to add. and i am coding it using html and css.
i need to add those code in inc>structure>header.php ( as i shown in red block)
so can i add or you can help from theme support to include that file as a part of child theme?
or it is not possible?It’s not possible to modify that
header.phpfile like that and I don’t think it’s necessary at all.Where would you like the buttons to appear?
Have you considered using hooks or widget area?
