how to do this?

Hi,

I would like to modify this code and add it to a child theme. (parent theme is classipress v3.1.9)

This code can be found in the theme-footer.php file inside the parent theme includes directory of classipress.

<div class="right">
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.appthemes.com/themes/classipress/" title="Classified Ads Software"><?php _e('Classified Ads Software','appthemes'); ?></a> | <?php _e('Powered by','appthemes'); ?> <a target="_blank" href="http://wordpress.org/" title="WordPress">WordPress</a></p>
</div>

How can I do this so the changes I make override the original?

I have made the changes I require to a copy of the theme-footer file and have put this file into a directory called includes within the child theme directory. Ex. childtheme1/includes/theme-footer.php but the changes are not taking precedence over the parent file.

Am I doing this correctly?

Kind regards
