Hi,

child theme is fine of course because we tested it many times. We recommend to have a look at https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes where all everything was explained.

Thanks!

hello, sorry but I can not make it work, I have already uploaded the files in the language folder and they work without problems, but when I go to load the widget-login.php file that does not load the theme. I uploaded the above file in the directory (/betheme-child/functions/widget-login.php).

I modified the file functions in the theme child in this way: 

/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * Load Textdomain

 * --------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'mfnch_textdomain' );

function mfnch_textdomain() {

    load_child_theme_textdomain( 'betheme',  get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );

    load_child_theme_textdomain( 'mfn-opts', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/languages' );

load_child_theme_textdomain( 'betheme',  get_stylesheet_directory() . '/functions' );

    load_child_theme_textdomain( 'mfn-opts', get_stylesheet_directory() . '/functions' );

}

There is no need to edit child theme files. Please check the following links where everything was explained:

the lang file work fine, but the other file can not work

Albert

It does not work because you are doing it wrong. The file should be loaded as the following:

require_once( get_stylesheet_directory() .'/functions/widget-login.php' );

we did checked and it works of course. But one thing you need to do as well is to replace:

class Mfn_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

with:

if ( ! class_exists('Mfn_Login_Widget') ){
    class Mfn_Login_Widget extends WP_Widget {

under widget login file. But please notice, that because files customization in reference to Item Support Policy are not included/allowed, you need to contact with your web developer if you don't know how to customize child theme.

resolved, the problem was that not having installed the theme child from the beginning, I never updated the theme parent, then the child theme updated to the latest version that was not working.

Albert

Great, we're glad to know you sorted it out.
