# Include Files ? Child Theme

 * Hi guys – I would like to over-write the template-tags.php file in the /themes/
   rookie/inc/ folder.
 * I was hoping to create the /inc folder under my /theme/rookie-child/ path, however
   it does not work.
 * Is there a way I can modify the template-tags.php file and continue to automatically
   update the rookie parent theme when new releases come out ?

 * Hi [@corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/) ,
 * Unfortunately `template-tags.php` is called directly from `functions.php` so 
   you can not override it. BUT you can override each and every function inside `
   template-tags.php`. Did you try that?
 * Thanks,
    Savvas
