Thread: Child theme PHP question

Child theme PHP question

Hi Guys

At the moment, I’ve modified core php files. So I’m now at the stage where I want a child theme, instead of messing about with core stuff, because soon I will install 1.7 (which will over-write the core modifications)

I’ve read the tutorial, but it only mentions about CSS. I don’t understand how the child theme works for php files?

Do I literally just copy over any core php file I want to modify e.g. footer, wrapper, and simply just drop it into the child theme? (and modify it) Is it that simple? or do I need to know anything else?
