WordPress: Override parent theme class function in child theme










0















I want to override function in child theme, which is defined inside a class in parent theme.



Here is the sample code:



class A extends B
function __construct()
$this->add_ajax('sync_post_data', 'need_to_override');

//other functions
function need_to_override()
//function code





Additional Information:



Class B extends Class C and Class C is the root class where add_ajax is defined.



What I've tried:



  1. As the function is not pluggable so I can't override function directly in child theme.


  2. Secondly I tried to remove ajax action and add my custom action. It throws 500 internal server error.



    remove_action( 'wp_ajax_sync_post_data', 'need_to_override' );
    add_action( 'wp_ajax_sync_post_data', 'custom_function' );

    function custom_function()
    //function code with my custom modification



Any help please...

          You can just override that method of class in just two simple steps.



          Here's how:



          1. Open child theme functions.php


          2. Create new class like this:



            add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() 


            class D extends A

            function need_to_override()
            //original function code with your custom modifications




            new D();
            );


          PS: It will work but I'm not sure if it is the best way or not!
