    Changing Widgets in Child Theme?

    So, I created a vantage-child theme and my goal is to change the "Create Listing Button" widget text (Btw, why is it not customizable...?).

    In my child theme I created the same folder structure of the parent theme:

    vantage-child
    |-includes
    |-widgets.php (copy of the same file in the parent theme)

    and in widgets.php I modified the button text.

    The problem is...whatever i enter, doesn't show. I had to modify the original file in the parent theme.

    Does anybody know why changing that file in the child theme didn't apply?

    Thanks
