with
. I’d like to remove this functionality altogether in my child theme.
I’ve tried this a couple different ways in my child theme functions.php, but
I can’t seem to get it right. Any help would be much appreciated. The parent
theme function is:
* ```
// Add lead class to first paragraph
function wp_bootstrap_first_paragraph( $content ){
global $post;
// if we're on the homepage, don't add the lead class to the first paragraph of text
if( is_page_template( 'page-homepage.php' ) )
return $content;
else
return preg_replace('/ later on, I then have to go do the
same to p.lead, and it just seems bloated to do it twice. I don’t want to have
a class that is essentially useless.
* Any advice on removing the function?

* Have you seen remove_filter [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_filter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_filter)?

* you’d only be affecting the p tags that the function adds the class of lead to.
all other p tags on the site would be untouched by this.
* if you should want to make a change to ALL p tags including the p.lead tags then
you just use
* ```
p, p.lead
{
changes go here;
}
```
* and that will override the settings you previously added to p.lead.
* i recommend not poking about in functions.php files in general. if in doubt and
you absolutely must get rid of it contact the theme’s developer and ask them
for direct advice as it’s their code and they can tell you if it will knock anything
else out of whack.

* Thanks, Andrew. I had tried `remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wp_bootstrap_first_paragraph');`
but no luck. What else do I need in there?

* Is your child theme functions.php file being read? Have you tried adding other
stuff?

* Yea, I’ve used the child theme functions.php to enque the style.css from the
parent theme. That’s working fine.

* Ah. Added a new function to remove it. This worked:
* ```
function magic_remove_lead_paragraph($content) {
global $post;
return preg_replace('/
