      How can I override files located in the parent theme’s “framework/shortcodes” folder? I’m trying to update the “doctor” shortcode with some custom fields and when I place the tpl1.php file in the same location in my childe theme, the parent theme file is not overwritten.

      I’ve placed the updated version of “tpl1.php” file in this file path “/wp-content/themes/medipress-child/framework/shortcodes/doctor/tpl1.php”, however it is not updated on the site. (No cache involved)

      Thanks!

      Hi!
      Shortcode doctor/tpl1.php using normal.

      Hi Long,
      It’s “normal” because I edited the tpl1.php file in the parent theme, which is NOT the correct way to do it. I want to OVERRIDE the tpl1.php file in the parent theme, by placing a modified version in the child theme. However when I do so, the file is not overridden and it still uses the parent theme file. Please check the site again to see what I mean. I’ve switched the parent theme file back to the default version and placed the override tpl1.php file in the childe theme under “/wp-content/themes/medipress-child/framework/shortcodes/doctor/tpl1.php”. This should override the parent theme file but it does not. Is there a way to make this override work? Thanks!

      Great! Thank you! So to be clear for other users who might encounter this: the shortcode override actually was working but I had some CSS in the wrong place which was causing the overridden file to act funny.
