 * Hi I am making a childtheme and I know had to change stuff in the css and some
   of the php files, but I now have a problem with a javascript.
 * The theme is Make,
    the Javascript is edit-page.js, the line that is troubling
   me is:
 *     ```
       // Builder template is selected by default
       self.cache.$pageTemplate.val('template-builder.php');
       ```
   
 * This line makes a specific template my standard template instead of the standard
   template…
    And I want the standard template to be my standard.
 * I know close to nothing about javascript unfortunately.
    The problem is solved
   if I remove that line from the script, but of course I don’t want to alter the
   original script, I want to do it in the childtheme.
 * Do I need to replace the entire javascript with a copy without the line, and 
   how would I do that?
    Or is it possiple to write something (in my functions.php
   for example) that would just get rid of that line (and keep the rest of the original
   javascript) Or is it possible to write a bit of script that would overrule the
   javascript in the choice of standard template.
 * I hope I explaned it clearly, if you can help but need more info let me know!!
 * Thanks in advance 😀

 * Okay, after searching some more, I still couldn’t find a way to just override
   that one part from the Javascript.
 * So this is what I ended up doing:
    – I copied the .js to my childtheme, – edited
   the copy (comented out the line I didn’t want, – added a few lines to my functions.
   php tot deregister the old .js and enqueue the new one:
 *     ```
       // removing and replacing a javascript
   
       add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'my_deregister_javascript', 100 );
   
       function my_deregister_javascript() {
           wp_dequeue_script( 'ttfmake-admin-edit-page' );
           wp_deregister_script( 'ttfmake-admin-edit-page' );
       }
   
           wp_enqueue_script(
               'ttfmake-admin-edit-page-edited',
               get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/admin/edit-page.js',
               array( 'jquery' ),
               TTFMAKE_VERSION,
               true
           );
       ```
   
 * And it works 😀
