Is it possible to use a child theme functions.php in Brunelleschi?

  • Hello all. I’m still working on a few customizations on Brunelleschi, and tonight I’m having a lot of trouble creating a functions.php in the child theme so I can make a few tweaks. Just putting a functions.php in the child theme directory gets some kind of error. The error varies, but the most recent one was

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/brunelleschi-child/functions.php on line 17

    (Note that xxxxxx is my username, I just X’ed it out for privacy.)

    Is it possible to have a custom functions.php file or does Brunelleschi not support it? This isn’t critical, really, but I’m just curious to know before I spend too much time chasing errors. Thanks.

  • Can you pls post line 1-30 of your /brunelleschi-child/functions.php ?

    Sure, here it is:

    <?php
/*----------------------------------------
#
# Theme Name: Brunelleschi
# Theme Author: Kit MacAllister
#
----------------------------------------*/

/*----------------------------------------
#
# BRUNELLESCHI SETUP
#
----------------------------------------*/

/* Run Brunelleschi Theme Setup */
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'brunelleschi_setup' );

/* brunelleschi setup */
if ( ! function_exists( 'brunelleschi_setup' ) ):
	function brunelleschi_setup() {

		/* Load Theme TextDomain */
		load_theme_textdomain( 'brunelleschi', TEMPLATEPATH . '/languages' );

		$locale = get_locale();
		$locale_file = TEMPLATEPATH . "/languages/$locale.php";
		if ( is_readable( $locale_file ) )
		require_once( $locale_file );

		/* Add Custom Background */
		add_custom_background();

    The first 30 lines of your childtheme functions.php are exactly the same as from the Brunelleschi functions.php – you dont need to add them in your own file…

    Your childtheme functions.php only needs to contain your custom changes…

    Unlike style.css, the functions.php of a child theme does not override its counterpart from the parent. Instead, it is loaded in addition to the parent’s functions.php.

    Does it help? ??

    So there’s my problem ?? Thanks for letting me know.

    I’ve changed the functions.php to only have the one bit of code I wanted for now (the header size) and sadly am having the exact same problem I was having before. I’ve got another post on the header problem specifically, so I’ll go reply over there again so I don’t end up creating a duplicate thread. Thanks again.
