I'm having a hard time trying to override my parent theme's footer.php, footer-set.php and footer-tag.php from my child theme.
I have just tried to copy-paste and modify them. No success. Maybe they are being read but probably later on, the ones from the parent prevail.
I have also tried to request them from the functions.php in the child theme with no luck:
<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
$parent_style = 'parent-style'; // This is 'twentyfifteen-style' for the Twenty Fifteen theme.
wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/footer.php';
require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/footer-set.php';
require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/footer-tag.php';
/*include( get_stylesheet_directory() . '../footer.php' );
include( get_stylesheet_directory() . '../footer-set.php' );
include( get_stylesheet_directory() . '../footer-tag.php' ); */
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>
The child theme is active and it works. I know this because the style.css works - it has effect. Also if i write something wrong in the functions.php in the child folder, it would throw an error. So it parses the functions.php fom the child theme.
I presume I have to de-register the footer.php somewhere/somehow, but I have no idea where and how to.
This is my parent's theme structure, and these 3 are the files I am trying to override.
And this is what i added in the child theme:
As more info in case it would be useful, this is how the footer.php looks like:
<?php if ( tt_is_sidebar_active('footer_widget_area') ) { ?>
<section id="footer-widgets" class="clear">
<ul class="content-block xoxo">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('footer_widget_area'); ?>
</ul>
</section>
<?php } ?>
</section>
<?php global $template_url;?>
<footer id="footer">
<section class="content-block" style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p class="copyright left">© <?php echo date('Y');?> Queen Latifah Weight Loss</a>
| Theme By <a href="http://allinonetheme.com" title="All In One Theme" rel="nofollow">All In One Theme</a></p>
<ul id="footer-nav" class="right">
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>" title="Visit HomePage">Home</a></li>
<?php //About Us Page
$footer_item = get_option('tt_footer_about');
if($footer_item && $footer_item != '' && is_numeric($footer_item)) {
$page = get_page($footer_item);
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($footer_item);?>" title="<?php echo $page->post_title; ?>">About</a></li>
<?php
}
unset($footer_item); unset($page);
?>
<?php //Terms Of Service Page
$footer_item = get_option('tt_footer_tos');
if($footer_item && $footer_item != '' && is_numeric($footer_item)) {
$page = get_page($footer_item);
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($footer_item);?>" title="<?php echo $page->post_title; ?>" rel="nofollow">Terms Of Service</a></li>
<?php
}
unset($footer_item); unset($page);
?>
<?php //Privacy Policy Page
$footer_item = get_option('tt_footer_privacy');
if($footer_item && $footer_item != '' && is_numeric($footer_item)) {
$page = get_page($footer_item);
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($footer_item);?>" title="<?php echo $page->post_title; ?>" rel="nofollow">Privacy Policy</a></li>
<?php
}
unset($footer_item); unset($page);
?>
<?php //Contact Us Page
$footer_item = get_option('tt_footer_contact');
if($footer_item && $footer_item != '' && is_numeric($footer_item)) {
$page = get_page($footer_item);
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($footer_item);?>" title="<?php echo $page->post_title; ?>" rel="nofollow">Contact</a></li>
<?php
}
unset($footer_item); unset($page);
?> <li><a href="http://www.queenlatifahweightloss.com/resources/" title="Resources" rel="nofollow">Resources</a></li>
</ul>
</section>
</footer>
<?php wp_footer();?>
</body>
</html>
I also have this in functions.php:
//Get Theme Specific Footer
function tt_get_footer() {
$footer = get_option('tt_footer_layout');
if($footer == 'tag') {
include('footer-tag.php');
} else if ($footer == 'set') {
include('footer-set.php');
} else if ($footer == 'custom' || $footer == 'no') {
include('footer.php');
}
}
At the end of index.php I have:
<?php tt_get_footer(); ?>
