Dante theme updates

[pbi design]

Hello,

every time the Dante theme gets updated I need to manually replace certain files which we have edited to customize certain pages. These files are: clients.php, functions.php and header.php

Even though these files are in my child theme folder, the theme uses the files in the swift-framework > page-builder > builder > shortcodes folder.

1. Is there a way I can set up my child theme that will prevent this from happening?

2. If not, I will continue to replace these files in the “shortcodes” folder after theme updates. BUT, should I be concerned that when I do this, I end up using older versions of the files? How do I know if the theme update includes revisions in these particular files?

I just want to make sure I am doing this correctly. Maybe I’m supposed to just copy the lines of code I need into the new files that come with the updates.

thanks

Hi

1) Unfortunately not, child themes only override the root folder files.

2) The easiest way is to check the line number of the last line of code, if it’s more than your file, then we have likely updated the file, so you’ll need to make your changes to the new file and save in your child theme

Got it. Now, I am not a programmer, so it takes me awhile to find the lines of code that need to be replaced. What would be the correct way to add a label or note right before the relevant lines of code?

Add // for the line
