Child theme overrides

Which is the best way to override the parent theme folders and files?
Just copy the exact structure inside the child theme?

Lets say we must change this file
woocommerce/myaccount/form-login.php

We should copy the whole structure (folders/subfolders etc) in the child theme and make all the changes in that child file?

Hello,

You need to copy template files to the exact place in the child theme folder and edit. Note that you can copy only core WordPress templates files like index.php, single.php, header.php and woocommerce/ folder with templates.

Kind Regards

So, all in all.
I have to copy the whole woocommerce folder in the child theme and make the changes in the child themes files.
Is that right?

Actually, you can copy only a few files. Not necessary to copy the whole folder. But you have to keep the structure. So the path should be woodmart-child/woocommerce/myaccount/form-login.php.

Kind Regards

Yes of course, i understand about the structure.
I will copy only the files that i need to change

Exactly, you just need to copy the files you need to change.

Great, thanks

You are welcome!
