And hence why there is coke and pepsi … 🙂

If you run a website for 10 years or longer at some point you find that with major updates the child themes need to be updated too and defeats the purpose. But whatever works for you is what works best for you. I manage 20 sites, some online for 16 years and updated daily, so I do things a little more “time management” focused in the long term. I also don’t update my themes every time there is update as I often don’t need the new bells/whistles requested by others. So, I’m usually many versions behind, and like it that way !

For this theme I have tried it.But I am currently at 7 modifications. Every time there is a theme update I regret it. You always have to re-apply custom changes and keep a very detailed list of how and why to do it. With a child-theme you can just save a copy of the modified php file and feel free to update the theme at any time. So I actually hate not working with Child themes.

I don’t use child themes; don’t believe in them unless absolutely necessary as they are a CSS redirect, which I don’t like. Different from an “includes.” So, ideally if using child theme you would add it to the child functions.php if there is one — but I can’t speak as to it working or not working with child theme. Part of optimization process is NOT using child theme, was my point 🙂

Sooooo….. one of the items might conflict with child theme. I put mine in main functions.php at bottom.

Splendid, that worked!

Now, one last question for you, @andrei_luca, regarding the darn navbar…

I’m noticing now that there’s a lot of extra space at the bottom of the mega menu than there used to be before I added all of this code. Initially I assumed it was because those elements that you helped me fix were vertically stretched out, but now that they’re the way they should be again, the mega menu still seems to be vertically stretched out. Do you know how I can get it back down to the size it should be?

Here‘s a link to my site again if you want to look and see what I’m talking about.

The following is all the code that’s currently in “Custom CSS” in the Theme Panel:

.sf-menu > .current-menu-item > a:hover, .sf-menu > .sfHover > a:hover, .sf-menu > .td-menu-item > a:hover {
border-bottom: 4px solid #0b9bc6!important;
}

.td_mega_menu_sub_cats .block-mega-child-cats a, .td_block_mega_menu .td-post-category{
height: inherit;
}


Chris do we paste the code into child theme function.php?

I tried adding it to main function.php file but broke my site lol

not sure which of the functions is causing this, haven’t test yet.

Can we child theme woocommerce files? I have more changes I need to make to other files.

Hi Catalin!

We have the paid 6.6.4 version of the theme.

Our WPperson created a child theme using child theme configurator.

original looks like this :

child theme version looks like this:

What is happening?

Have a nice day! 🙂

Best regards,

Thanks for the quick reply Catalin.

How about overriding the function (from functions.php in the child theme) using higher priority?
I tried the following code (screenshot) and it’s working well, not loading any of the default files, but I’m unsure if it could be good as a long-term solution.


function override_fonts() {
td_global::$default_google_fonts_list = array (
'653' => array(
'css_style_id' => 'google_font_work_sans',
'url' => td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Work+Sans:400,700'
),
'654' => array(
'css_style_id' => 'google_font_bitter',
'url' => td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Bitter:400,700'
),
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'override_fonts', 20 );

↑ Replace default fonts (Open Sans and Roboto) with custom ones (Works Sans and Bitter, also from Google)

Hi

These files are not editable in child theme so the changes can be applied only in main theme. For more details about child theme support with our theme please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/

Thanks!

Hi

The style.css file is not included on the list with allowed files which can be modified in child theme because it’s included by default in child theme. Any child theme contains in its basic structure a style.css and functions.php file.
Regarding the code from child theme there is an important aspects that must be considered:
– if in previous theme’s version a specific code added in child theme worked fine that doesn’t mean that will work with a new theme version. When theme update many of its files are changed and it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.
In your case if the css code does not apply from child theme means that even the selector has been changed or there is a more powerful code in main theme style which override the css from child theme.
The css code it’s very tricky and always the most precis or most powerful selector apply the style for a specific element.

Thanks!

Hi

Are you referring at this widget: http://screencast.com/t/xzHr2v3v – http://screencast.com/t/XogiSKD9b If this is the case you can customize its layout using some custom css code in theme panel > custom code > custom css and the result will be like here: http://screencast.com/t/E5D18xWenTPa

.widget_categories.widget ul li{
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10px;
}
.widget_categories.widget ul li:first-child{
margin-left: 0px;
}

Please note that this is just an example for the Categories widget. In this case the widget html structure allow this customization but in others cases the required customization could be more complexes, depending by widget’s layout.
If this is not what you mean please provide more details and also your site url so I can inspect this closer.

Thanks!

Can I somehow keep the edited file in the child theme folder so I don’t have to make the same edit each time the theme gets updated?

Should this work in the child theme? I tried there, but only a direct edit on the original theme files seems to work. If it should work as child theme files, I’ll try again.
