Customize Masonry taxonomy menu – av-helper-masonry.php – using functions.php

That didn’t work. I’ve actually tried this method before when adding a custom icon font and it didn’t work then either. Is there code that needs to be added to the functions.php to make sure this file loads from the child theme?

Still not working. I’ve added this code to functions.php in the child theme:

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');

  return $paths;
}

Then created a folder in my child theme folder called shortcodes, then placed my edited copy of av-helper-masonry.php inside it but it is still using the file from the parent theme.

I’ve purged the cache in WP and cleared the browser cache. Private Content login credentials below. I’ll work on ftp credentials if you need it but I’ve been doing web development as a hobby for many years and know how to create folders and upload files. I use dreamweaver for my website management.
