Overwriting Sub-Folder with Child Theme

    Hi,

    I have added in new icons (images) for the circle-icons on the homepage. I edited the files in the sub-folder fontawesome (icon-sections.php, icons.php and css/font-awesome.css). I tried to copy and paste these files to the same location in a child theme but it didn’t seem to work, then I tried to copy the files to the root of the child theme, also didn’t work.

    My new icons are working – you can see here – but my problem is that I have edited the parent sub-folder and I am guessing that this will be overwritten with an update.

    Is there any way I can copy these files into the child theme and have them work?

    Cheers,
    Al.

    Hi Al,

    In short, no. These functions of the theme are not ‘overidable’ via a child theme. You would therefore need to code this in yourself from scratch, within your child theme.

    Which icons have you added? I’ve recently requested that the theme author update the font awesome icons are there have been several new icons added since the themes release…

    Hi xclamation, thanks for the reply.

    Icons I have added in are:

    1
    2
    3
    4

    There is a wide selection of icons with the theme, but the business I am setting the site up for fits windows and doors, so they were the main type of icons I was looking for.

    As I said I have it working, but just from the parent theme.
