Child theme changes not appearing

[Adrenaline22]

Hi guys,

I want to make some minor changes in the blog details (blog-item-details, I want just to remove ‘in’, and ‘by’ etc.) located in cardinal/swift-framework/content/sf-post-formats.php

These are the exact steps to reproduce my problem:

– created folder ‘child-theme’
– created style css and @import the style CSS from parent folder
– copied the modified sf-post-formats.php in to child-theme/swift-framework/content/

After refreshing nothing happens 🙁

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Hi

I’m afraid it doesn’t work like that, child themes can only override files in the root folder of the main theme, things like header.php, footer.php etc.

What you would need to do it copy the whole function, from line 283:

/* GET POST ITEM
	================================================== */ 
	if (!function_exists('sf_get_post_item')) {

And paste in your child themes functions.php file
