 * In my BirdTIPS child theme I needed to override a parent theme function, but 
   this is not possible because not all the parent theme functions are pluggable(
   wrapped in a _if (!function\_exists())_ condition). Could you guys (the developers)
   improve this and do your theme more customizable?
 * For now, I already wrapped the needed function in a _if (!function\_exists())_
   condition in the functions.php of the parent theme and overrided it in the child
   theme functions.php file, but this is not a good solution.
 * Best regards,
    Iurie
