Although overriding the function in a child theme is often a good way to go, it looks like this theme doesn’t set that up with this particular function (because they’re not checking if function_exists() first, before redefining it – which will cause an error). However, they have given you a way of overriding it with … Read more

You can, and should, make your own functions.php file. You can’t drop a whole chunk of code that depends on other files into your theme and just expect it to work. It probably also contains a load of things you don’t need. Start with an empty functions.php and just add things as you need them. … Read more
