How to edit header.php on a child theme

i tried going in to the parent theme and adding my code into there to make a change, however it threw me an error saying it was unable to communicate back with the site.

Im simply trying to make it so that the images placed within the header media are in a slider, but everything i've tried doesn't seem to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated

you need to be a lot more precise describing your problem, and also add the part of your code that contains the problematic situation...

In general, once you created a child theme and activated it, you can copy the header.php from the main theme directory to the child theme directory and do any modifications you need in that copied file - it will overwrite the main theme's file with the same name, which also applies to any other theme file (like footer.php, functions.php etc.)

header.php

footer.php

functions.php
