I created a child theme and i want to edit a php file. So i copy and paste the php file into the child’s theme folder and then i edit it. But it seems that nothing changed in the site preview! In the theme’s folder there is a subfolder named “templates”. There it is the “slider.php”. Before creating the child theme, i tried to edit the parent theme and i made the same changes i made in the cherry and it was correct. I want to make some little changes in some php files but i can’t!
I think i find the start of my problem but i really can’t understand it. In the WordPress documentation in the Child Theme section, in the “Other Files” paragraph it says: “if this file (slider.php) is not included by any of your template files or functions.php file then you can not override this file by your child theme.”
I first try creating the “functions.php” and then inserting this code:
<?php require_once( get_stylesheet_directory(). 'templates/slider.php' ); ?>
But after uploading the “functions.php” in the child theme an error occured.
I am really confused about this!
What is the way to edit a php file in a child theme?
