I would like to override a require_once present at the beginning of the functions.php of my main theme through my child theme.

specifically I have:

require_once get_template_directory().'/libs/some-function.php

I know that replacing get_template_directory() with get_stylesheet_directory() I can load a modified copy of the some-function.php file into my child theme. but I wouldn't change the parent theme, I would make the change only in the child theme.

I add that the require_once is not hooked

Suggestions?

Thanks

No, the parent themes functions.php is always loaded, and require_once is not a WordPress API but a part of the PHP language itself

The only way to change it would be to modify the file
