Hi,
I have created a child theme for a bootstrap style theme.
In the functions.php file there are a few lines that point to files that reside within folders in the parent theme folder structure.
eg;
require_once( get_template_directory() .'/functions/google-fonts.php' );
Now rather than having to copy all the required files, I just want to create a function file in my child theme that loads the files that the theme needs.
I have discovered I need to to do this as the fonts aren’t loading.
Can some one give me some guidance on how I can get the files to load.
Many thanks

I am struggling with the child thme for the Evolve theme for the last few days.
The problem is, that I can’t get the base.css of the child theme to be recognised. The author of the Evolve thme doesn’t want to help.
What exactly should I add in the style.css of the child theme?
My child theme is in the folder evolve-child.
I have this in the style.css of my child theme:
/*
Theme Name: Evolve Child
Theme URI: https://www.secretsistersblog.com/
Description: Child Theme Evolve
Author: Johanna Ouwerling
Author URI: https://www.secretsistersblog.com
Template: evolve
Version: 1.0
*/
@import url( ‘../evolve/style.css’ );
Then I have placed the header.php, the functions.php, the content-blog.php, the index.php and the folder library in the child theme folder.
I changed all those files except the functions.php, but I thought the functions.php should be there too. Is that correct?
My main problem is, that I can’t get the files from the library folder to work. In it is an important css file.(base.css) And my site doesn’t load that.
Should I include the path to this folder somewhere and where?
The js from the library folder isn’t working either, but I managed to get that to work by placing that folder directly in the child theme folder. Next to the index.php etc.
The only way I can get the css to work is when I insert it in the admin of the theme. The author created this possibility in the wp admin.
But I don’t know if when the author updates his theme, I loose all my changes.
I have the child theme activated now and it works alright.
I hope somebody understands what I am writing here.
My main question also is, how can I get the css inside the library folder to work?

]]>I have created a child theme and have it activated, but in the Appearance/Themes menu of the Dashboard where you manage themes there is a line that says:
“This child theme requires its parent theme, Twenty Twelve.”
I have seen conflicting answers to this question. Does anyone know *for sure* if this is an error message or something that is supposed to be there whenever you activate a child theme?
Thanks very much.
