Learn how to change the template files in your child theme to display meta content for custom post types.
- The child theme we just created…gives me the ability to completely change the display…of all the content on the front end…by augmenting what the parent theme is doing.…So let me briefly explain how a child theme works.…If I want to change a template from the parent theme…I simply copy the file,…let's say for example, single.php…and place it into my child theme folder,…WordPress will then notice,…oh hey, the child theme has a file called single.php…so I'm going to use that instead of the parent theme file…that means any time I want to change some behavior…or display it on the front end…I simply take the file from the parent theme,…copy it into my child theme folder,…make whatever changes I want…and those changes will take effect.…
This is a great way of experimenting with a theme…and making changes without doing damage…to the parent theme in the process,…so if you do something horribly wrong…and everything breaks…you can always just fall back on the parent theme…and everything is fine again.…In other words, using child themes,…
