  Hi Guys!

  I’m working with a child theme and want to make a couple of change to the meta-boxes file and include the modified file on the child theme folder.

  How can I set the meta-boxes.php file to load from the child theme, rather than the main theme?

  Could someone help me with the necessary steps?

  Thanks for any help!

  Hi,

  You will need to port over the entire framework of the theme (the /includes/ folder) to your child theme.

  Thanks for the reply Cosmin!

  1. How I supposed to call the new meta-boxes file on the child funtion.php? I try this code but don’t work:

  define('SF_TEMPLATE_PATH', get_template_directory());
define('SF_INCLUDES_PATH', SF_TEMPLATE_PATH . '/includes');
define('SF_WIDGETS_PATH', SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/widgets');
define('SF_LOCAL_PATH', get_template_directory_uri());


  2. How I specify a sidebar (sidebar 1) on the post section on meta-boxes.php?

  Hi,

  1. Please check this Pinpoint discussion: http://support.swiftideas.net/forums/topic/child-theme/

  2. Take a look at Post Meta Box in that file, starts at line 298
