Creating hooks for parent/child theme file

    Hi,

    I have WP Job Manager installed with a theme.

    I am trying to edit a file called

    /themes/jobseek/inc/job-manager.php

    I have checked with the theme developer on how to edit this file and they have told me I need to create a hook for it as the files in the parent directory get overwritten when the theme is updated.

    I’ve tried to save the same file in the child theme:
    /themes/jobseek-child/inc/job-manager.php

    but the file doesn’t update on the front-end.

    Can anyone help me on how to create a hook?

    Thanks!

    That would depend on the code you want to override… I would talk to the theme authors and get them to specify in greater detail with an example if possible. I would also be transparent and say this is the first time you’re doing this, so you would really appreciate as much help as they can give.
