Child theme .php being overwritten by parent theme

Hey,

I wanted to replace module 6 within block 3 with module 7. This is because there’s no block that calls on module 7, which I want as my frontpage.

I did this by editing the td_block_3.php file and making it call on module 7 instead of module 6 as well as making it so that it only uses the one column layout. You can see how I did this here: http://i.imgur.com/Tz5JHhu.png

Now, this works when I do this within the parent theme. However, when I try to do this within the child theme it doesn’t work. Could you recommend to me the best way to do this through a child theme to get the results I’m looking for?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately the block files can’t be overwritten using child theme, you can see the list of files that can be overwritten using the child theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/
If you want to do this you need to make this changes into the main theme files.

Thanks
