Modified Functions & Styles Separate from Theme's

[Grec]

As mentioned in the thread below I added a function to my theme’s function.php file in order to control the data that is listed in the ical feed.

Control Data in iCal Feed

In closing out that discussion I asked a question about how to remove that update from my theme’s function.php file and placing it into a file in a sub-folder (e.g., the usual recommended “events” one) so that it wouldn’t get overwritten during theme updates.

I’d also be interested in learning how to do this for style modifications as well. Right now the recommended approach seems to be to override the Events Calendar default style by placing them in your theme’s style.css file. Of course again like above, if you update your theme, those changes might get lost.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Salvador, the proper way to do this would be to create a child theme and add that code to your child theme’s functions.php file. Read more about child themes at

Sorry if this is duplicated.

Thanks Andy. Salvador: does that answer your question or do you need any further input here?
