  • I have created a child theme of rock star, and im trying to add a custom widget, however the widget will only appear if i modify widgets.php under the main theme. If i copy widgets.php to the child theme and register my custom widget, it doesn’t appear. Can you help please?

  • @cshibbs: To override the widgets.php in Main theme by widgets.php in the Child Theme folder the destination path of the widget.php should be same as in Main theme folder.
    So Cut and paste the widgets.php in the Child theme folder to
    Child Theme Folder => inc => widgets => widgets.php

    Let me know if this works out!
