    Hi!
    I use Hueman child theme with Hueman 2.2.3 as parent theme, but when I copy alx-tabs.php from functions/widgets in my child theme (functions/widgets) and then I edit this copied file, nothing happens.

    Any solution to change these files without having to change it for each theme udpate ?

    Thx,

    David

  • Hi David. The widget is loaded using a function in the parent theme. You need to copy that function to your child theme functions.php file:

    function alx_load() {
  // Load theme languages
  load_theme_textdomain( 'hueman', get_template_directory().'/languages' );

  // Load theme options and meta boxes
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/theme-options.php' );
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/meta-boxes.php' );

  // Load custom widgets
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/widgets/alx-tabs.php' );
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/widgets/alx-video.php' );
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/widgets/alx-posts.php' );

  // Load custom shortcodes
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/shortcodes.php' );

  // Load dynamic styles
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/dynamic-styles.php' );

  // Load TGM plugin activation
  load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php' );
}

    Then change this line:

    load_template( get_template_directory() . '/functions/widgets/alx-tabs.php' );

    to this to load the widget from your child theme:

    load_template( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/functions/widgets/alx-tabs.php' );

    More information in the theme documentation.
