  Hi

  I previously did alot of changes in Neighborhood theme files (without child theme) only to realise with update that all my changes were overwritten.

  How do I use the child theme (I already uploaded and activated it) and still edit theme files. In the folder I only see a style CSS, no other files.

  Do I still change content in the main theme files and only update the child theme. Sorry for the confusion, i am not sure what to do.

  Hi,
  Please take files from parent theme and paste at child theme directory. Now edit these files as child theme directory.
  Thanks

  I am having issues with the child theme not picking up my php changes. I have uploaded and activated the child theme: neighborhood-child.

  Example: I wanted to change the sf_header.php file. So I find the php file here:
  /neighborhood/includes/swift-framework/sf-content-display/sf-header.php

  I change “Welcome” to “Hello” in line 469

  Then I upload the new sf-header.php to the child theme here:
  /neighborhood-child/includes/swift-framework/sf-content-display/sf-header.php

  The change does not work. What am I doing wrong?

  Hi,

  That file would require to add a lot more files.
  Do it like this.

  copy your entire changed function to the functions.php of the child theme. It will work fine.

  
  if (!function_exists('sf_woo_links')) {
  		function sf_woo_links($position, $config = "") {
  
  			// VARIABLES
  			$options = get_option('sf_neighborhood_options');
  			$tb_search_text = $options['tb_search_text'];
  			$woo_links_output = $ss_enable = "";
  
  			if (isset($options['ss_enable'])) {
  				$ss_enable = $options['ss_enable'];
  			} else {
  				$ss_enable = true;
  			}
  
  			// WOO LINKS OUTPUT
  			$woo_links_output .= '<nav class="std-menu '.$position.'">'. "\n";
  			$woo_links_output .= '<ul class="menu">'. "\n";
  			if ( sf_woocommerce_activated() ) {
  				if (is_user_logged_in()) {
  					global $current_user;
  					get_currentuserinfo();
  					$woo_links_output .= '<li class="tb-welcome">' . __("Hello", "swiftframework") . " " . $current_user->display_name . '</li>'. "\n";
  				} else {
  					$woo_links_output .= '<li class="tb-welcome">' . __("Hello", "swiftframework") . '</li>'. "\n";
  				}
  			}
  			if ($ss_enable) {
  				if ($position == "top-menu") {
  				$woo_links_output .= '<li class="tb-woo-custom clearfix"><a class="swift-search-link" href="#"><i class="fa-search-plus"></i><span>'.do_shortcode($tb_search_text).'</span></a></li>'. "\n";
  				} else {
  				$woo_links_output .= '<li class="hs-woo-custom clearfix"><a class="swift-search-link" href="#"><i class="fa-search-plus"></i><span>'.do_shortcode($tb_search_text).'</span></a></li>'. "\n";
  				}
  			}
  			$woo_links_output .= '</ul>'. "\n";
  			$woo_links_output .= '</nav>'. "\n";
  
  			// RETURN
  			return $woo_links_output;
  		}
  	}

  Hi,

  Nothing wrong in my change suggestion, it’s just a better way to achieve the same you already did.

  Mohammad alternative will replace all the words “Welcome” in the site by the word “Hello” and sometimes that’s not the desired.
