Hello,

I want to override the author name function with my own function. We use a custom field for the name, which if exists should show up instead of the WordPress author/user. I tried to copy the function of get_author() from td_module.php into the child theme, but it doesn’t change anything. Can you recommend me how to do this customization.

Thanks.

Hello davemalhotra,

Unfortunately, you cannot do this change because the child theme does not overwrite the code which has been placed in any wp_booster, sorry! As you can see, the td_module.php is part of this general folder and it cannot be overwritten in your child theme. For more information about our child theme, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Thanks for your understanding!
