Editing Template Files In Child Theme To Avoid Losing Changes During Update

    My wordpress theme – https://wordpress.org/themes/himalayas/
    My website – clueavenue.com

    I used a plugin to create a “child theme” because I already knew that I needed THAT in order to make changes to the “footer” and other “parent theme” files without losing the changes during updates. However, when I created the child theme with this plugin, the only things that show up in Appearance>Editor>”HimalayasChild” is the functions.php, style.css and rtl.css.

    My theme currently inherits template files from my parent theme, but I need the ability to make changes to the following template files that will NOT be lost the next time my site needs an update…
    – header.php
    – footer.php
    – inc/header-functions.php

    How can I make changes to these files within my Child theme so that during the next update I don’t lose these changes?
