Hi all,

I am a quite beginner in php and I was wondering to ask some help to have the admin-config.php i just placed in my child theme to overwrite the parent one. I also added this in the child function.php file  
require\_once ( get\_template\_directory() . ‘/include/admin-config.php’ );  
This was the same hook present in the parents function.

I did all this and made sure that everything was in the right place but i still cannot manage to link it right.  
Do you folks have any suggestion?

Thanks everyone for the open support!

Robin
