Child Theme Not Overriding Parent Theme

Can’t Find a Way to Edit the Home Page Content [closed]
That’s because most probably your theme’s index.php is including somewhere the content of the template via a function (i.e. get_template_part()). Also, all your page’s contents are (and should be) stored in the database and displayed via queries; the contents are not (and they shouldn’t be) hard-coded in any file.

Your question and answer comes down to template hierarchy and how it works, and it is really really useful to know the basics here.

But here is how to do it… You could dig through … Read more
