Overwrite the "featured-post-widget.php" in a Child Theme

[bousquet]

Hi,

i use the "News Pro" Child Theme, and want to include the "featured-post-widget.php" file in this child theme,
to make some minor changes (change the "h2" in the file to a simple "p")

how can i do that?

I created the folder structure /lib/widgets in my child theme, and copied the "featured-post-widget.php" in there,
but nothing changes after i edit the file.

do i have to make any further changes to overwrite the genesis core file with a file in my child theme?

thanks,
martin

1. You need to include the file using require_once
2. Unregister the default widget
3. Register the new widget class
4. And change all instances of the class name in the copied file

Then you can make changes.

You can't copy over the file unless you make these changes.
