Thread: extending or copying theme-functions.php in to child theme to edit function

extending or copying theme-functions.php in to child theme to edit function

The function I want to edit is "function jr_job_author()".

I want to edit the way it display the job data but when I copy this to the child theme and edit the code it doesn't make any difference. Where as if I edit the code in the jobroller ( parent ) theme it displays the changes

I'm guessing I need to either somehow replicate this file in my child theme or extend this function in my functions.php file somehow?

Can someone tell me how to do this. The examples on here are not helping much nor are the answers from other posts

Thank you
