Sorry if this has been addressed. I searched and got over 200 results but each thread was expanded and didn't want to spend the next year looking for one that might apply. The functions . php theme is in an include file in the Responsive theme. I am using a child theme. I want to register new sidebars. I can stick the sidebar files in the child theme, but they have to be registered in functions.php. I cannot just copy the 'functions.php' file and stick a new one in my child theme or copy the includes folder - everything breaks. I have to do the sin of all horrible sins - <gasp> are you sitting down? you might faint... I have to edit the functions.php file in the Responsive (parent) theme. I know some of you are crying right now, wagging your head exclaiming, how can she do that? Please point me to a higher path, a better way...
