post_row_actions filter from parent theme not executing in child theme

There has been a major misunderstanding of child themes. Parent and child themes are a WordPress feature, not a PHP feature, and include is a PHP directive, not a WordPress function.

To make the distinction and reason clearer child themes don’t inherit a parents “files” they inherit the parents “templates”.

So include "inc/duplicate-posts.php"; will always be relative to the current file that’s calling it, not the root of the current theme, and it will never look in the parent theme.

Instead, it looks like there’s been a misunderstanding about how templates are meant to be loaded in WordPress.

This loads a template file in your theme:

get_template_part( 'template', 'file' );

It will load the first file in this list that it can find:

  • template-file.php in the child theme
  • template-file.php in the parent theme
  • template.php in the child theme
  • template.php in the parent theme

Always use get_template_part for templates, files that render HTML. These can be overloaded/replaced via child themes.

Never use get_template_part for library files or files that define classes and functions, e.g. your includes folder. Always use include/include_once/require/require_once for arbitrary PHP files that declare hooks/functions/classes, libraries etc.
