Over-ride theme files with Child theme

[deepak.mote]

hi, im trying to override “sf-header.php” & “sf-menus.php” with the child theme but it doesn’t seem to be working.
i’ve created a “includes” folder in the child theme and placed the edited files there – it doesn’t take effect.
the child theme is linked fine, i’ve crossed checked that.

what am i doing wrong?

Hi

It doesn’t work like that with framework files, you need to override the function itself in the child theme’s functions.php file. so whatever function you edit, make sure it starts with

if ( ! function_exists( 'function_name' )) {

otherwise it can’t be overwritten. If it does start with that, copy that whole function to your child theme’s functions.php file
