Hi,

I want to change some text in the theme-functions.php file on the main mantra theme, so have created a child theme which all works well however this file won’t override so no matter what changes I make to the child theme theme-function.php file it wont display.

I have put it in mantra-child->includes so it is in the same position as the main theme but it doesn’t work.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

Some functions are automatically replaced if you use the same function name in the child theme, bust most core functions are a bit more difficult to override.

You need to individually un-hook Mantra actions and hook your own modified child theme functions in their place.

Example:


// remove mantra functions action hooks
function remove_mantra_functions() {
remove_action('cryout_existing_hook', 'mantra_existing_function',[priority-if-set]);
}
add_action('init','remove_mantra_functions');
// custom child function
function child_theme_function_replacement() {
... }
// add replacement child function
add_action('cryout_existing_hook','child_theme_function-replacement',[same-priority-as-replaced-function-if-set]);

Hi,

Is this done in the child version of the main template version of the file?

 

[Zed]

This is done in the child theme’s functions.php file.
