child theme overwriting parent files

      Hi. I need to modify some files from parent theme Specular, namely:

      /specular/includes/core/codeless_metaboxes.php

      /specular/includes/types/codeless_staff_type.php

      /specular/vc_templates/staff.php

      It’s a common practice to copy parent theme files to child folder (in the same folder structure), so that when updating parent theme, the edits will not be overwritten.

      I copied the 3 files above to my child theme folder and made some edits, but the edits have no effect (i.e. parent theme files take precedence).

      Please advise.

      Hello,

      Please add wp credentials in a private reply. So we can check what is not set up properly.

      Best regards!
