Joyn-Child files not overriding Joyn folder

[mhote]

Hi, to protect edits from theme updates, I have a folder structure including:

Joyn-Child
>Swift-Framework
>> Core
>>> sf-header.php

For header text customisations. However, this isn’t overriding the Joyn parent

Any idea why?

Hi,

It depends on what you changed.

For instance if you changed something inside the function sf_header_wrap(), the better thing to do it’s to copy the entire function to the childtheme functions.php

You can do this in all the function that use before the declaration of the function the function_exists verification

if ( ! function_exists( 'xxxxxxxx' )) {

Thanks Rui… just changed the text/links at the login/account area to:

// LINKS + SEARCH OUTPUT
            $aux_links_output .= '<nav class="std-menu ' . $position . '">' . "\n";
            $aux_links_output .= '<ul class="menu">' . "\n";
            if ( $show_account ) {
                if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
                    $aux_links_output .= '<li><a href="' . $logout_url . '">' . __( "Sign Out", "swiftframework" ) . '</a></li>' . "\n";
                    $aux_links_output .= '<li><a href="' . $my_account_link . '" class="admin-link">' . __( "My Account", "swiftframework" ) . '</a></li>' . "\n";
                } else {
                    $aux_links_output .= '<li><a href="http://hoteliyo.com/login/">' . __( "Log In", "swiftframework" ) . '</a></li>' . "\n";
                    $aux_links_output .= '<li><a href="http://hoteliyo.com/signup/">' . __( "Signup Free", "swiftframework" ) . '</a></li>' . "\n";
                }
            }

Yes, you cannot override swift framework files themselves in a child theme, instead you have to copy the whole function to the functions.php file of your child theme
