[Override Parent Class]

What error message are you getting?

No error message, just no changes. The child class is NOT adding the new code. I'm trying to add code to an existing public function using a child class.

 

I need to extend a parent class to add an extra field.

This is the parent class.

class Default_Fields {

public function fields() {

    $this->_fields = array()
        
   array(
            'name'        => 'text_one',
            'label'       => __( 'Text One' ),
            'type'        => 'text',
        ),
        
    );    
}

}

This is the child class

class More_Fields extends Default_Fields {

public function fields() {

    $this->_fields = array()
        
    array(
            'name'        => 'text_one',
            'label'       => __( 'Text One' ),
            'type'        => 'text',
        ),
    array(
            'name'        => 'text_two',
            'label'       => __( 'Text Two' ),
            'type'        => 'text',
        ),
    );    
}

}


$new = new More_Fields;

$new->fields();

The additional code in the child class for Text Two is not added. Not sure why. What am i missing or is there another method?

[Override Parent Class]

I need to add more code to an existing function located inside the parent class. I'm using code like this but can't get it working :

 

// Parent

class Default_Fields {

    public function fields() {

        $this->_fields = array()
            
        // Default Code
    }

}


// Child

class More_Fields extends Default_Fields {

    public function fields() {

        $this->_fields = array()
            
        // Modified Code
    }

}


$new = new More_Fields;

$new->fields();

The modified code in the child class is an extended version of whats in the parent. There's no errors but the additional code is not printing. 

I can link to the complete file containing all the parent code if needed.
