Cutomizer and child theme

    I am working on a new site and decided to make a child theme. I am new at this, but so far so good… Style issues sorted out, however: The parent child does not have the option to include a text line at the bottom of the page (in the footer).
    I have adjusted the customizer.php to make it possible to add the info I want in ‘footer options’. When i replace the customizer.php in the parent theme, it works like a charm.
    However, if I save the customizer.php to my child theme, nothing happens.
    I was under the assumption that if a .php file exists in the child theme, this would be loaded instead of the parent theme file.
    What am I doing wrong? Do I need to add code to my child theme’s functions.php? And if so, what? I have tried and tried but cannot get it to work.

    Hello, Look in the parent folder that is responsible for that code. then crate a copy and paste that php file into your child theme folder. Then you change your code. This will work.
    thanks.

    It is the cutomizer.php that is responsible for the code. I have made a copy, changed the code, but it does not work if I paste it in the child theme. However, if I paste it in the parent theme, it works perfectly.

    Any other suggestions? Or what code could I add to the footer to add a line of text there? In that case I could try to write it as a hard code, instead of something that is customizable.
