How would I replace this function that lies inside inc/template-tags.php
in my parent theme
function theme_navigation() {
?>
<div id="theme-nav-container">
<nav id="site-navigation" class="main-navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' => 'theme-studios-primary', 'menu_class' => 'sf-menu', 'fallback_cb' => false, 'walker' => new theme ) ); ?><div class="clearfix-pro"></div>
</nav>
<div class="clearfix-pro"></div>
</div>
<!-- close #theme-nav-container -->
<?php
}
There is no add action that it is hooked on to, there is no check to see if the function already exists. How would I replace it without touching the parent theme. I have removed much of the code in the function for brevity but I think it still makes sense.
Thanks ahead of time

Reset to default 2You can't replace the function, but you can substitute it:
- Copy the function to your child theme's functions file.
- Rename the function.
- Modify it as needed.
- Find the template file that references it, such as header.php, and copy that to your child theme.
- In your child theme's new template file replace the reference to the original function with your renamed version.
