    Hello,

    So I want to override some of my parent theme files. I made the file directory the same under the child theme. I have put the php files in there but they are not doing anything. Would anyone be able to tell me how to get these files working?

    Cheers,
    Stuart

    Thanks for getting back to me on this. really appreciated!
