Child themes let you override templates loaded via WordPress’ template loading mechanism, e.g. get_template_part
or the main theme templates such as index.php
and single.php
.
But they can’t be used to replace arbitrary PHP files or assets.
If a theme loads a template file using require
or include
, WordPress cannot intercept this and replace it with a child theme version.
If this is the case, then you will need to find an alternative method to achieve your goal. Check with the themes documentation, the author may have provided a method to do this, such as an option or filter, or you may need to fork the theme.
