Child Theme Won't Overwrite inc/template-tags.php

I’m trying to change the title on the Blog Post pages so that it doesn’t read – BLOG at the top, but instead the actual name of the post.

$title = ( ! empty( $page_for_posts ) ) ? get_the_title( $page_for_posts ) : esc_html__( get_the_title(), 'basel' );

If I add that to the parent theme, it works just fine, but when I duplicate the file and add it to my child theme it doesn’t work at all. I just updated to the newest version of Basel and it’s still not working.

Another question I had for you that I’m not sure you could answer is that I found a plugin to generate Featured Images and I wanted to know if you guys had any idea on how to write a function or something that would automatically update all blog posts (as if I were to go into the actual post and hit update) as that’s the only way the featured image is generated.

Thanks for the help!!

Hi,

You can’t just copy our core theme files to the child theme and change them as regular WordPress templates. But you can do this simply copying a particular PHP function from that file to the functions.php file in the child theme and do your changes.

Gotcha – how would I incorporate this as a function in the Child Theme?

$title = ( ! empty( $page_for_posts ) ) ? get_the_title( $page_for_posts ) : esc_html__( get_the_title(), ‘basel’ );

You need to copy the whole PHP function that contains this code.

Is that a lot of unnecessary code that needs to be in the functions file? There’s no way to write it in a few lines? I’m a designer, not a developer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m also thinking about buying Woodmart for my next project, as always I’ll leave you a great review – it looks amazing from the demos that I’ve seen.

Yes, you need to copy the whole function. Anyway, it is much better than copy the file as you wanted to do initially.

Regards

What’s the whole function? This here below?

Yes, that’s correct.
