Child themes only let you override templates, but they don’t override other PHP files, e.g. anything included from functions.php
.
You can try to change things via hooks, but if the function provides no hooks then you’re stuck. There is no way to override it unless a way has been provided by the author of the parent theme.
Your options are:
- fork the parent theme
- contact the author
- Create your own function with a different name, then override every template that uses the original ( this one is a longshot, and won’t work if the function is used in a PHP file that isn’t a template )
