Child Theme Issues

  • Hi, first off really nice theme.

    I am having trouble with overriding parent theme files.

    Images on the Presentation page in front-columns-box I would like to add links around the images. I have edited the parent theme files /includes/widgets.php and got it working but would like to know how I can get it working in a child theme. I have copied and pasted the widgets.php file to the child theme in a subfolder called includes but it isn’t working. I know there is a require_once in the parent theme functions.php but don’t know how to override that.

    My other question, is, is there anyway to separate the homepage into 2 columns and have posts form 2 different categories display in each column. Again, I have tried this and got it working to some extent but I don’t want to mess around with parent theme files too much.

    Thanks,
    Al.

  • The original widgets functionality needs to be unhooked and then your own widgets hooked back in place. That’s not the simplest task to do.

    We’ll get the images to be wrapped in links in a future update.

    You should be able to customize the posts part to display anything you want by copying the content/content-frontpage.php file to the child theme (keeping the folder structure) and editing the query (and output) to fit your needs.
