How can I copy functions.php from “BuddyPress Default” into my child theme without getting an error when I reload the site?

Thanks in advance.

Unlike CSS, which a child theme will override the parent theme files, a child theme will utilize both functions.php files.

See the WordPress Codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Using_functions.php
And the Buddypress Codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

So don’t copy it over. The functions are being applied in your child theme already. If there are additional functions you want to add in your child theme, add them to the child theme functions.php file.

I wanted to let you know that there’s only about 5 lines of code in my child theme’s functions.php file…And nothing more. Am I missing something? Thank you.
