Cannot remove custom-header in child theme

  • Ok so im making a secondary child theme for my site that will be used for mobile. I want to remove the custom header on this secondary child theme while the main child theme has it active. So in the secondary theme in functions.php I added.

    add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘remove_custom_header’, 11 );

    function remove_custom_header() {

    remove_theme_support( ‘custom-header’ );

    }

    But the damned custom-header persists. Any help would be nice here.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • You can use CSS Media Queries to hide header for small devices

    @media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .custom-header-class {
    display: none;
  }
}

    I would normally do something like this but for mobile speed and seo improvemwnts that would worsen the problem by adding more code. I need the header code to never be called and no image rendered with the css it still downloads the large images and renders it.

    Then try suggestions from this discussion

    So according to that post it should look like this. This does once again this doesn’t work to remove the image header. I don’t know what can be done. I have tried contacting the developer of the theme but it seems he’s not around anymore as he isn’t responding. 

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_custom_header', 11 );

      function remove_custom_header() {

              $GLOBALS['custom_image_header'] = 'kill_theme_features';
}
class kill_theme_features {

      function init() {return false;}

}

    Maybe someone can recommend a nice mobile theme that I can customize? Instead of me wasting time on trying to convert this one to mobile
