child theme

The way the theme knows about this function is by including the file it is defined in:

/**
 * SVG icons functions and filters.
 */
require get_parent_theme_file_path( '/inc/icon-functions.php' );

So you might need to do the same.

functions.php of the child theme gets executed before the functions.php of the parent theme; therefore, twentyseventeen_get_svg is not defined yet when you try to use it.

depending on your intended code, try to work with:

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'whatever_you_want_to_do' );

function whatever_you_want_to_do() {

		//including//
		twentyseventeen_get_svg();

}

Hi Andrew

Thanks for your answer. Yes, in the file functions.php of the parent theme the icon-functions.php file is included, so I supposed to use the twentyseventeen_get_svg in my functions.php child theme, but I keep getting “Fatal Error: Call to undefined function ….”.
So I tried to copy the twentyseventeen_get_svg function in my functions file but then I got the message ” Cannot redeclare twentyseventeen_get_svg()…” since is not a pluggable function.

How can I use that and other functions of the Twenty Seventeen theme in my functions.php?

Thanks

Hi Michael
