# enqueue additional child theme files with functions.php

 * I need to enqueue additional theme files in a child theme. Such as /media-queries.
   css or a php file in a subfolder (ie. /theme-child/subfolder/file.php.
 * I’ve created a child theme and enqueued the style sheet, but I don’t know what
   the php function is to enqueue files other than style.css
 * From research I think I need to use get_template_directory(), but I can’t find
   any examples.
 * Thank you!

 * What about enqueuing a .php file? in a sub directory?

 * This isn’t a WordPress specific question, but more of a global web development
   question.
 * You can’t enqueue a php file. You’ll need to `include`, `include_once`, `require`
   or `require_once` the file. Additionally, you can use [get_template_part()](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_template_part/)
   depending on what type of file it is you are trying to load.

 * Google can provide you with some solid examples on how to use any of the aforementioned
   functions.

 * Example:
 * I want to move:
    /basic/themify/themify-builder-templates/template-gallery.php
 * to
    /basic-child/themify/themify-builder-templates/template-gallery.php
 * In order to make a change in the template structure. Is get_template_part() the
   correct function to use in functions.php in the child theme?
 * I’m using Themify Basic theme.

 * I personally do not work with any page builders, or have any experience customizing
   templates for them – so I’m not 100% sure.
 * But from a quick Google search, the themify documentation seems to have some 
   very helpful information:
