Thread: Child theme mod not working. !important?

Child theme mod not working. !important?

I have set up a child theme and made many mods through it. However, the latest one doesnt seem to be relfecting on the site. I made the change of code in the core file first to make sure I wrote it right.

Then I reverted the core file back to standard and made the change in its equivalent child theme file. However, the mod now doesnt work. I learnt that I may need to include the !important tag so that the child theme edits are picked up. Problem is I dont know exactly where to put this.

Here's my editited line of code in theme-emails.php where i've chucked !important in a few places:

$message = sprintf(__('Someone is interested in your ad listing: %s. Simply reply to this message to contact this person. The message reads:'!important, 'cp', !important ), $permalink) . "\r\n\r\n";!important

I've added the extra text: Simply reply to this message.....
