Overriding function in Child theme

  • Hi,
    I am trying to override a function in my parent function.php with the child function.php. I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong. (probably a lot) but it seems to be working fine in firefox but its not working in chrome. Any ideas? Here is the function I am trying to override. I want to add a link next to the widget title, which I know how to do..just not sure how to override this so it works correctly in chrome and firefox(or any other browser)

    /*----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 register sidebars
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
if ( !function_exists( 'bk_register_sidebars' ) ) {
	function bk_register_sidebars() {
		if( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
			$sidebars = get_option("bk_sidebars_list");
			if( is_array( $sidebars ) ) {
				foreach( $sidebars as $sidebar ) {
					register_sidebar(array(
					'id' => $sidebar["bk-sidebar-id"],
					'name' => $sidebar["bk-sidebar-name"],
					'description' => __('This is one of Your custom sidebars. Add any widgets here and then assigns this sidebar to any post/page/portfolio entry in post/page/portfolio settings', 'corpora_theme'),
					'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget clearfix %2$s">',
					'after_widget'  => '</li>',
					'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title"><span class="widget-title-wrap">',
					'after_title' => '</span></h3>'
							));
				}
			}
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'bk_register_sidebars' );

    If anyone can help me out on how to override this function, i would appreciate it!! Thank you

  • what is your code?

    have you cleared the browser cache?

    can you provide a live link to your site to illustrate the problem?

    have you contacted the developer of your theme for help with your question?

    the site is idmetalico.com

    yes i’ve tried clearing the browser history

    and no i, havent contacted them. I’ve never overridden functions before so think i’m just not understanding how to do it correctly.

    my understanding is i need remove the old function and point to a new function i remname? I’m just not understand how to do it

    it seems to be working fine in firefox

    what code have you used to get it working in Firefox?
