In my theme folder ‘sfwd-lms/includes/shortcodes/ld_course_list.php’ file overwrite not working

Question

I'm trying to overwrite my ld_course_list.php file, but I'm having trouble. I tried to use the same plugin folder structure in my child theme, but it did not display the child theme file content.

Plugin Name: LearnDash LMS

Plugin file location : wp-content/plugins/sfwd-lms/includes/shortcodes/ld_course_list.php

Child theme file location : wp-content/themes/Awake/sfwd-lms/ld_course_list.php

The other two locations were also tried: (1) wp-content/themes/Awake/sfwd-lms/includes/ld_course_list.php (2) wp-content/themes/Awake/sfwd-lms/includes/shortcodes/ld_course_list.php

Thanks

Answer 1

Overwriting LearnDash plugin files is not as straight forward as woocommerce, they follow a very different folder structure, try this path:

wp-content/themes/Awake/learndash/shortcodes/ld_course_list.php

or

wp-content/themes/Awake/learndash/ld_course_list.php

Unfortunately there is no proper official documentation on this. Check these articles for more info Article 1 | Article 2
