    Hi to all,
    I created a child theme, now I wonder:

    In the parent theme had changed to Italian language some phrases that were in English.

    To have these changes in the child theme, and not losing them in the event the issue is updated or added new changes to files on the topic son, what should I do?

    In her son’s theme folder I only 3 files, and functions.php style.css and the image file preview of the child theme.

  • Hello @andreaguerra80,
    The best way to make changes like you mention to a theme is to use a child theme, so your changes won’t be disappear when updating the theme. Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

    Hope this help!!

    I’ve read the guide, I created the child theme and use it already solving the various compatibility issues so far.

    But what I do not understand is:

    If I want to change as the parent theme files “content-single.php” I have to copy this file in the child theme folder with the hierarchy of folders or I have to write the same function with the change I want to make in the functions.php file child theme?

    that is, to give you an example, in the “content-single.php” file I want to change so

    <div class="related-post">
            <h2 class="block-title"><span class="bordertitle-red"></span><?php echo _e( 'Related Post', 'profitmag'); ?></h2>
            <?php profitmag_related_post( get_the_ID() ); ?>
            <ul>

            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>

    in so

    <div class="related-post">
            <h2 class="block-title"><span class="bordertitle-red"></span><?php echo _e( 'Notizie correlate', 'profitmag'); ?></h2>
            <?php profitmag_related_post( get_the_ID() ); ?>
            <ul>

            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>

    how do I change this in the child theme?

    Ya simply copy “content-single.php” from parent to your child theme and edit as per your requirement and it should work!. Have you tried that ?

    Hello I renamed content-single.php file content-single2.php the theme folder profitmag and then copied the content-single.php file in the theme folder child and seems to work.

    So your solution is valid.
    thanks @wen-solutions
