Replace sf-header with Child theme

[HEPA]

Hi

I would like to modify the file sf-header.php

I have created a functions.php which I added inside my child folder, but I am doing something wrong, as I am breaking the site.

What i add inside functions.php is

<?php
	if (!function_exists('sf_custom_content')) {
		function sf_custom_content_functions() {
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-header.php');
			}
		add_action('init', 'sf_custom_content_functions', 0);
	}
	
?>

What is the right way to do it?

thanks

Hi,
Please remove your code and use this one code :
require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-header.php');
Thanks 🙂

Hi Mohammad,

I have the same issue with my child theme, but your code won’t either work..

require_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . ‘/sf-header.php’);

Do I have to upload more files except sf-header.php to my child theme?

I createt exact the same path like in dante (includes/sf-header.php) in the childtheme and added your code, but all i get is a blank page.

hope you can help me with this.

thanks

Hi,
You can override the all functions of sf-header.php file through functions.php file of child theme. Its easy way so just try it out.

Thanks

Hi

You need to copy the function that you’re changing into the child theme’s functions.php file. They start with somethign similiar to:

/* TOP BAR
 	================================================== */
 	if (!function_exists('sf_top_bar')) {
		function sf_top_bar() {

I am running into the same issue.

I have added to my child theme functions this code

	/* CONTENT FUNCTIONS
	================================================== */
	if (!function_exists('sf_custom_content')) {
		function sf_custom_content_functions() {
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-header.php');
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-page-heading.php');
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-blog.php');
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-portfolio.php');
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-portfolio-detail.php');
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-products.php');
			include_once(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/sf-post-formats.php');
		}
		add_action('init', 'sf_custom_content_functions', 0);
	}

I then added an includes folder and put in those 7 files copied from the parent theme. I did not change anything from those 7 files and I get a 500 error when I load my page now. I have also tried to replace include_once with require_once but same 500 error.

@chris_swany – you do not need that function added to your child theme.

You only need to copy in the function you are wanting to overwrite. Do not copy the whole file contents.

Thanks.

So I am a little confused. All I want to do is add a line of text next to the logo.

So do I need to just copy the sf_header function and put that into my functions.php file on my child theme and then make my changes to that function?

Thanks

From the sound of it, the function you need is sf_logo() which is located within the file sf-header.php.

It looks like this, that is all you’d want to add to the child theme:

	/* LOGO
	================================================== */
	if (!function_exists('sf_logo')) {
		function sf_logo($logo_class) {

			//VARIABLES
			global $woocommerce;
			$options = get_option('sf_dante_options');
			$show_cart = $options['show_cart'];
			$logo = $retina_logo = $light_logo = $dark_logo = "";
			if (isset($options['logo_upload'])) {
			$logo = __( $options['logo_upload'] , 'swiftframework' );
			}
			if (isset($options['retina_logo_upload'])) {
			$retina_logo = __( $options['retina_logo_upload'] , 'swiftframework' );
			}

			// Light Logo
			if (isset($options['light_logo_upload'])) {
			$light_logo = __( $options['light_logo_upload'] , 'swiftframework' );
			}
			if ( $light_logo != "" ) {
			    $logo_class .= " has-light-logo";
			}

			// Dark Logo
			if (isset($options['dark_logo_upload'])) {
				$dark_logo = __( $options['dark_logo_upload'] , 'swiftframework' );
			}
			if ( $dark_logo != "" ) {
			    $logo_class .= " has-dark-logo";
			}

			if ($retina_logo == "") {
			$retina_logo = $logo;
			}

			$logo_output = "";
			$logo_alt = get_bloginfo( 'name' );
			$logo_link_url = home_url();

			// LOGO OUTPUT
			$logo_output .= '<div id="logo" class="'.$logo_class.' clearfix">'. "\n";
			$logo_output .= '<a href="'.$logo_link_url.'">'. "\n";
			if ($logo != "") {
			$logo_output .= '<img class="standard" src="'.$logo.'" alt="'.$logo_alt.'" />'. "\n";
			} else {
			$logo_output .= '<h1 class="standard">'.$logo_alt.'</h1>'. "\n";
			}
			if ($retina_logo != "") {
			$logo_output .= '<img class="retina" src="'.$retina_logo.'" alt="'.$logo_alt.'" />'. "\n";
			} else {
			$logo_output .= '<h1 class="retina">'.$logo_alt.'</h1>'. "\n";
			}
			if ($light_logo != "") {
			$logo_output .= '<img class="light-logo" src="'.$light_logo.'" alt="'.$logo_alt.'" />'. "\n";
			}
			if ($dark_logo != "") {
			$logo_output .= '<img class="dark-logo" src="'.$dark_logo.'" alt="'.$logo_alt.'" />'. "\n";
			}
			$logo_output .= '</a>'. "\n";
			$logo_output .= '<a href="#" class="visible-sm visible-xs mobile-menu-show"><i class="ss-rows"></i></a>'. "\n";
			if ($show_cart && $woocommerce != "") {
			$logo_output .= '<a href="'.$woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url().'" class="visible-sm visible-xs mobile-cart-link"><i class="ss-cart"></i></a>'. "\n";
			}
			$logo_output .= '</div>'. "\n";

			// LOGO RETURN
			return $logo_output;
		}
	}
