Can’t override template file in child theme

Replacing templates via child theme only works as far as WP’s core functions are being used to locate/load that template. More complex themes might not be implementing that for their features.

In such case the code of the parent theme needs to be examined to determine how precisely that specific template is loaded and what customization options (if any) are there.
