child theme functions.php

    I’ve created a small custom child theme and was working on some custom functions. According to this step, I am told to rename the functions.php file in my theme folder (e.g. `/wp-content/themes/custom-theme/cutsom-functions.php`). However this does not work. If I move the code into `bp-default/functions.php` it works or if I rename my custom-functions.php to `functions.php` it works. I have done the later and things seem fine but I want to make sure I’m not missing something.

    The step there isn’t really clear.

    By renaming functions, what the codex article means is renaming the function name and not the filename.

    Continue using /wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/functions.php. Just try to prefix your function names in this file.

    eg.

    `
    // bad
    function do_crazy_stuff() {

    }`

    `// better
    function my_theme_do_crazy_stuff() {

    }
    `
