Child files not over-writing theme files.

    I am using the ‘neve’ theme and there is a file in the following path structure that I need to change.

    /wp-content/themes/neve/inc/views/pluggable/pagination.php

    I tried to set up the exact same structure in the child theme but that didnt work, so I thought I would add the exact function to the child theme functions.php with the same function name but with my changes inside, and that didnt work either, so Im not sure how I can do this.

    This is the function –

    function render_post_navigation() {
    // my changes to overwrite that same function in /pagination.php
    }

    I have other similar files that I need to work with, and would need to be able to do the same thing.

    One being – /wp-content/themes/neve/inc/views/partials/post-meta.php

    Is there anyway I can make this work with those files that are not wordpress template files.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @accend4web,

    Thank you for using the Neve theme.

    You’re right, those are not template files so you can’t overwrite them via child theme, it’s expected that they won’t work this way.

    For achieving such customizations, we can’t help too much, unfortunately.
