Overwriting Custom Post Types and Shortcodes in Child Theme

[FoodFuture]

Hello,

I am creating a custom child theme based on Dante, and need to edit several of the Swift Framework custom post types (clients-type.php, etc.) and page builder shortcodes (clients.php, etc.). How can I include these updated files in my child theme as to keep them separate from the theme itself?

Thank you,
Jessica

Hi,

For instance in your example of clients-type.php you can remove our code by removing the action from the hook below
add_action('init', 'clients_register');

So in your functions.php of the child theme you should remove that action and add a new one using your custom function that should be a copy of the code inside clients.type.php but with different function names to avoid any conflict.

remove_action('init', 'clients_register');  
add_action('init', 'custom_clients_register');  

Regarding the page builder, I’m not seeing any way to overwrite the code, will check with my head developer.

just confirmed with the head developer, and with the current structure it’s not possible to overwrite the page builder assets inside a child theme.
