I’m using X with an x-child theme (Ethos stack), and have successfully implemented child-theme modifications in the past with no problemo’s.
Today I made a simple modification to this file to suppress the display of blog author:
x-child/framework/legacy/frontend/ethos.php
code change:
// $author = sprintf( __( ‘by %s’, ‘x’ ), get_the_author() ) . ‘’;
$author = ‘’;
This does NOT appear to change anything when applied in the child theme, even after clearing all caches.
But, when I make the same edit to the core x-theme file it works exactly as-expected (I only did that to confirm the child-theme problem and don’t want to ever change core theme files in production).
Here’s the blog, and let me know if you need temporary admin access.

'Love the x-theme, and thanks for your help with this!
