How to change the icon in wordpress child theme?

Question

WordPress

Hello.
In the main theme on wordpress 4.9.8 there is a theme/includes/functions.php file, which has a post view counter function -

function theme_get_post_views_count_html( $args = array() ) {



  $r = wp_parse_args( $args, array(

    'class'   => '',

    'post_id' => get_the_ID(),

  ) );

  $views_count = theme_get_views_count( absint( $r[ 'post_id' ] ) );


  if( theme_is_view_count_tresholded( $views_count ) ) {

    return;

  }
  $class = 'post-meta-item post-views' . ( $r[ 'class' ] ? sprintf( ' %s', $r[ 'class' ] ) : '' );



  $icon = 'bb-ui-icon-eye';
  
  return sprintf( '<span class="%s"><span class="bb-icon ' . $icon . '"></span><span class="count">%s</span><span class="txt">%s</span></span>', $class, $views, _n( 'view', 'views', $views_count, 'theme' ) );

}

How can I change the output of the counter icon so that I do not change the file in the main theme, but do it from the child? Already broke my head

Answer 1

In the child theme, create the function child_theme_get_post_views_count_html . Change it as necessary.
Copy all parent theme files that use the theme_get_post_views_count_html call . Replace with calling child_theme_get_post_views_count_html

For me, it's better to combine everything, and then calculate. Something like this (possible syntax errors):

SELECT COUNT(*) AS count
FROM orders o 
JOIN order_comments oc ON o.id = oc.order_id
JOIN order_comment_views ocv ON ocv.comment_id = oc.id
WHERE o.id =286 AND ocv.user_id =1
