Wordpress Customizr Theme Modern Style - Child Theme and overwriting templates

1
votes

I searched for this over an hour and just don't find how to do this. Maybe the Customizr themes name is not the best choice for easy searching. :)

Anyway, as far as I read here I have to create a child theme and should be able to override any file in the theme I would like to by building up the same folder structure the original file has.

According to templates/parts/loop.php the following two template files should be used by the theme:

templates/parts/content/post-lists/post_list_alternate.php
templates/parts/content/post-lists/post_list_plain.php

So I copied these two files to my child theme keeping the folder structure, inserted a large-sized span to test but nothing changes when viewing the website.

Can anyone give me a hint what I'm missing? Most information I find in the theme documentation relates to classical style.

Thanks in advance Steffen

I also asked this question in the Wordpress theme support forum and got an answer.

The template files each belong to a post list layout which can be selected in the theme customizer: Appearance -> Customize -> Main Content -> Post lists: blog, archives, .. > POST LIST DESIGN > Select a layout

Changing this to the appropriate layout uses the files in the child theme as expected.

Details on which file is used by which layout can be found in the code of the theme.
