Title: child theme functions.php nightmare Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # child theme functions.php nightmare * [rbfly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rbfly/) * (@rbfly) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/child-theme-functionsphp-nightmare/) * Hi, has anyone managed to change the slider so that it is just image slider, without links and text. I have followed instructions from a thread here, but it’s not working. I’m going crazy. No matter how I write functions.php it does not work. Please, if anyone has the patience to help me. I want to change that and get on with modifying my website.

Then change the two lines that are described in the thread “Clean Retina – [resolved] Slider”. But online, it will not change. I make “Empty cash”, but it will be the same. I know that you must specify in functions.php “remove_function” and“ add_funktion” but I do not know how. Any suggestions?

Create functions. php in your child theme and paste the above function. Then just replace this line …” Therefore I created new functions.php and done that which is written in the thread. Is it wrong done?

I do not understand what you mean? It is on the beginning of the function, but would I not change it to make it function to the child theme? * ```
