Hi there,
It’s typically not a good idea to overwrite files that include functions.
For example, I might add a function into that file in the future, then call the function somewhere else in the theme. If that function doesn’t exist because the file is overwritten, you’ll get a fatal PHP error.
Instead, all of the functions in there are wrapped in the function_exists() function.
That means you can copy the entire function (including the ! function_exists() part), and paste it into your child theme functions.php.
Then you can make changes to the function.
Hope this helps 🙂
