I am in the early stages of understanding how Wordpress &nbsp;and php works. &nbsp;I have developed a child theme and my question is when placing functions.php into my child theme directory, should the functions.php file in my child theme be a copy of the parent theme functions.php with my changes appended to it, or should the child theme functions.php be stripped of everything from the parent functions.php with only my changes?<br />
<br />
Sorry, I know that is a long question and hopefully it makes sense. &nbsp;Just trying to get an understanding of how this works.<br />
<br />
Thank you.
