# Modify Framework function – child theme

 * Hi all,
 * I have been using a premium theme and until now I have been able to edit various
   features by creating other templates and using a child theme to manipulate how
   the data is shown. I now want to customise some of the field inputs within the
   backend that the theme has set, this to make it easier to relate the the content,
 * To do this **Im overriding** a **framework** setting in the framework folder 
   with the same file duplicated in the same relative path as my theme (ie child
   theme). However the changes do not appear to be overriding the parent theme’s
   framework . When I make the changes to the original file, everything works as
   expected.
 * Is there a way to have all files in the child theme override their counterparts
   in the parent theme?
 * Ideally I do not want to change the parent theme just incase of an update, I 
   was hoping by modifying through the child them I would be able to save any changes
   that may occur during an update.
 * thanks
