How to make the featured images on the homepage clickable?

First create a child theme and activate it. This will ensure that the changes you make survive theme updates.

Then copy wp-content/themes/poloray/front-page.php to wp-content/themes/poloray-child/front-page.php. Edit this file and make the following changes

Go to lines 97, 122, 146 and 168 change

<div class="circle"><img src="<?php echo poloray_get_option('poloray_wimg1'); ?>" /></div>

to

<div class="circle"><a href="<?php echo poloray_get_option('poloray_feature_link1'); ?>"><img src="<?php echo poloray_get_option('poloray_wimg1'); ?>" /></a></div>

The “link1” in poloray_feature_link1 has to be link2, link3 and so on when you make changes.

Thanks Jesin,

What a perfect explanation.

I think I can work with this.

Will put it on my to do list, as it seems a lot of work. Haven’t before created a child theme…

Thanks!

A child theme can be created in 3 simple steps

1. Create a directory named wp-content/themes/poloray-child/
2. Create a file named wp-content/themes/poloray-child/style.css with the following contents.

   /*
   Theme Name: Poloray Child
   Template: poloray
   */
   @import url('../poloray/style.css');

3. Login to wp-admin > Appearance > Themes and activate the “Poloray Child” theme.

Once this is done you can modify most aspects of the parent theme.
