* Hello,
* I’m trying to make a child theme, but I can’t get /inc/extras.php in it. I need
this because i’m using a form inside the Call for Action section. I made a functions.
php with the following code:
* ```
So you’ve modified the /inc/extras.php file from the parent theme?
* Yes, I tried it and it worked like a charm. So now I would like to put that piece
of code in my child theme extras.php. I have the edited version of the extras.
php but when I use the given code for the functions, it gives me a blank page.
* So I guess the functions I use for the child theme are wrong.
* Thanks for the quick response!

* To modify this within a Child Theme you do it through your functions.php file.
* You remove filters and then add filters of your own, e.g.:
* ```
remove_filter( 'get_search_form', 'dazzling_wpsearch' );
/**
* Search form styling
*/
function child_theme_dazzling_wpsearch($form) {
$form = '
';
return $form;
}
add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'child_theme_dazzling_wpsearch' );
```

* May I ask why there is a form included in the code? I made my own search form,
so it has nothing to do with the in-build search function. 😉
* I just woud like to use the modified extras.php file to work in my child theme.

* I have to guess the modification you made, I’m not familiar with your site so
I gave an example modification in the code above.
* You said you made your own search form, but then why did you modify the extras.
php file?

* Hi Andrew,
* I just use the following code:
* ```
```
* Just so it appears, after I put it in the child theme, I can modify it for my
needs.
* I had to modify the extras.php because I want the search form to appear in the
Call For Action section. Normally you can place a piece of text here with a button.
You can put that text there in the theme settings, but it doesn’t support HTML.
* Thats why I searched for the Call For Action in the editor, and I located it
at extras.php.
I to update the theme when I have to, so I made a child theme.
But since extras.php is in the /inc folder, it’s not overwritten by the child
theme.
* So thats why I have to make a function in my child theme which includes the /
inc folder.
* I would like to learn how to make a functions.php in a child theme which calls
the /inc folder to overwrite the parent one.
* Thanks!

* Can you tell us exactly what you changed in your extras.php file? If not, copy
all of the code from that file and paste it into PasteBin and link us that: [http://pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com).

* This is the edited file of extras.php
[Pastebin](http://pastebin.com/Na1Ebtcn)
* The only thing I replaced is THIS:
`'. of_get_option('
w2f_cfa_text').'`
* with THIS:

* Okay so all you need to do is put this in your Child Theme functions.php file:
* ```
/**
* Call for action button & text area
*/
function dazzling_call_for_action() {
if ( is_front_page() && of_get_option('w2f_cfa_text')!=''){
echo '';
echo '
';
echo '

echo '';
echo '

echo '

echo '
