Thread: Using a Child Theme with QC

Using a Child Theme with QC

I am trying to use a child theme with the qc parent theme. I understand the basics of setting up a child theme, but I am running into some issues.

Issue 1: If I try and modify a file in the theme's "includes" directory (example /child-theme/includes/theme-footer.php), creating that sub directory and file with the same name as the parent file doesn't seem to work. The site is still showing the page contents of the file in the parent theme (example /parent-theme/includes/theme-footer.php).

Issue 2: If I try and add this

to the child-theme functions.php file, it doesn't cancel out this line

found in the parent-theme/functions.php file.

How am I supposed to use a child-theme if these types of things don't work? Isn't the whole point of a child-theme to avoid having to modify the files in the parent-theme?
