Override functions.php in child themes

Hello.
I am making a child theme based on your excellent GeneratePress theme. One of the things I want to do is to override the function generate_get_defaults(), however when I upgrade GeneratePress i of course get an error because I cannot re-declare the function.
Would it be possible to encase this in a if (!function_exists()) clause like
if (!function_exists('generate_get_defaults')){
function generate_get_defaults()
{
$generate_defaults = array(
'hide_title' => '',
'hide_tagline' => '',
'logo' => '',
'container_width' => '1100',
'header_layout_setting' => 'fluid-header',
'nav_alignment_setting' => 'left',
'header_alignment_setting' => 'left',
'nav_layout_setting' => 'fluid-nav',
'nav_position_setting' => 'nav-below-header',
'nav_search' => 'disable',
'content_layout_setting' => 'separate-containers',
'layout_setting' => 'right-sidebar',
'blog_layout_setting' => 'right-sidebar',
'single_layout_setting' => 'right-sidebar',
'post_content' => 'full',
'footer_layout_setting' => 'fluid-footer',
'footer_widget_setting' => '3',
'background_color' => '#efefef',
'text_color' => '#3a3a3a',
'link_color' => '#1e73be',
'link_color_hover' => '#000000',
'link_color_visited' => '',
);
return apply_filters( 'generate_option_defaults', $generate_defaults );
}
}That is the one function I have found would be useful to alter in my child. There may of course be others that would benefit from being overridden in child themes, but I haven't found any yet.
Hi there,
You can actually use the filter attached to that function.
For example, this is from our "Exhibit" child theme:
if ( !function_exists( 'exhibit_exhibit_defaults' ) ) :
add_filter( 'generate_option_defaults','exhibit_exhibit_defaults' );
function exhibit_exhibit_defaults()
{
$exhibit_defaults = array(
'hide_title' => '',
'hide_tagline' => '',
'logo' => '',
'container_width' => '1220',
'header_layout_setting' => 'fluid-header',
'center_header' => 'true',
'center_nav' => 'true',
'nav_alignment_setting' => 'center',
'header_alignment_setting' => 'center',
'nav_layout_setting' => 'fluid-nav',
'nav_position_setting' => 'nav-below-header',
'nav_search' => 'enable',
'content_layout_setting' => 'separate-containers',
'layout_setting' => 'right-sidebar',
'blog_layout_setting' => 'right-sidebar',
'single_layout_setting' => 'right-sidebar',
'post_content' => 'full',
'footer_layout_setting' => 'fluid-footer',
'footer_widget_setting' => '3',
'background_color' => '#9e9e9e',
'text_color' => '#3a3a3a',
'link_color' => '#1e73be',
'link_color_hover' => '#222222',
'link_color_visited' => '',
);
return $exhibit_defaults;
}
endif;Hope this helps :)
