Theme Updates delete changes on functions.php and headers.php

[giu_gugl]

Hi Guys

Thanks for your effort and I’m sorry if sometimes I put down crazy stuff (btw I’m going to mark as resolved the previous topic)!

I put some changes in the functions.php to customize the billing section but whenever I update the theme this changes go wested and I have to put hands again into the file.

Same problem with the Google Analytics Tag (Using Tag Manager) within the header.php (And this is a huge issue)!

As the website is made in 2 languages with two different wordpress installations, you understand that I can get crazy with this!

Is there a way to make the changes permanent?

Can you help me?

Thanks so much!!

functions.php Changes:
/* Add the field to the checkout
================================================== */
// Hook in
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’ , ‘custom_override_checkout_fields’ );

// Our hooked in function – $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields[‘billing’][‘billiing_codicefiscale/piva’] = array(
‘label’ => __(‘Codice Fiscale/P.Iva’, ‘woocommerce’),
‘placeholder’ => _x(‘Codice Fiscale o Partita Iva’, ‘placeholder’, ‘woocommerce’),
‘required’ => true,
‘class’ => array(‘form-row-wide’),
‘clear’ => true
);

return $fields;
}

Hi

You need to use a child theme, that’s what they are for. We included one in the ThemeForest Download files, make your changes to the child theme so that they are not ovwerwritten when you update

Hi Kyle

Thanks for the superfast answer!!

I put the GA Tag in the tracking code filed into the theme options section as you suggested me! It looks working!

About the customization of “billing section” in checkout page.
I made my changes into the functions.php file within atelier directory (theme).
Is That correct?
If it’s not, can you please provide me more tips on how to make my changes through the child theme?

Tnx

Upload the child theme provided and activate it, then go to Appearance > Editor, click on functions.php and add the code there
