Create functions.php in child theme and change accordion collapse on open

[donnaklym]

I want to have all accordion collapse (closed) on refresh.

I found the code in the forums for this:

Change line 601(?) in /js/functions.js from

jQuery(‘.accordion’).accordion({
collapsible: true,
autoHeight: false
});

to

jQuery(‘.ui-accordion’).accordion({
collapsible: true,
active: false,
autoHeight: false
});

-but it is in the file functions.js inside the /js folder, and so this would be overwritten when the theme is updated. Apparently I need to write any function changes to the functions.php file in the child theme to preserve them when the theme is updated, so I created an empty functions.php file on the root directory of my child theme to do this. Do I just paste in the new code here? Or do I need to copy the entire parent functions.php file to the new child theme functions.php file and just add the new code at the end?

Thank you kindly for your help – I am not a developer so am piecing this together on my own.

Hi,

Create a folder called js and then inside the folder create a file functions.js and then paste the whole code of js/functions.js from the parent theme in to it and edit your code in the Child themes/js/functions.js.

Let us know,

Thanks,
