    Parent Theme: Genesis
    Child Theme: Altitude Pro

    I'm trying to override files from Genesis -> lib folder and I can't. I tryied to copy Genesis/lib/structure/loops.php in Altitude Pro/lib/structure/loops.php with no luck....the changes from the child theme had no effect.
    I succeeded for the single.php file (located in Genesis root folder). I copied it directly to Altitude Pro folder.

    Please help me override the files from lib folder.

    The way you override a Genesis function is by copying the function you want to change to functions.php, rename it so there's no conflict, edit the function to make it your own, remove the original hook and add your new function to the hook. All the work takes place in functions.php.
