Changes to theme_functions

[rsharpe75]

Hi,

I need to make a change to:
/wp-content/themes/oldcar/includes/theme_functions.php

I want to remove the author link and editing this file is not a problem but I want to do it in the child theme so that when you release an update, my changes are not affected.

I copied that file to the child theme (in includes directory) but it does not work. How do I make this change?

Regards

Hi

Don’t copy theme-functions.php file to the child theme, because it’s not a template file.

You can just create a new functions.php file in the child theme folder, write your own function to override the van_posted_on() function as below.

/*Post meta info*/
if( !function_exists( 'child_posted_on') ){
  function child_posted_on(){
?>     
   <span class="blog-article-info"><?php printf(__('By %s','OldCar'),get_the_author());?> / <?php printf( __( 'in %2$s', 'OldCar' ), 'entry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links', get_the_category_list( ', ' ) ); ?> / <?php the_time(get_option('date_format'));?></span>
<?php
  }
}

Then, copy posts-normal.php and posts-grid.php file to the child theme folder, edit these file, replace van_posted_on() to child_posted_on()

Thanks
