    First of all – love this theme! Second time I’ve used it. Thank you!!

    I have the latest posts section active on my homepage (https://lakesidesearchgroup.com/), but I’d like to customize a few things that I can’t seem to figure out after lots of looking.

    1) The buttons below each post currently say “Read Me” – I’d like to change those – can I do this and if so, how?

    2) I’d also like to remove the post date and category tags that appear above those buttons. Under the Blog Posts section, I disabled all these things, but doesn’t seem to matter for the homepage.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • 1) Go to Appearance > Customize > Blog Feed. Scroll down and change value in ‘Read Me’ Button Label.

    2) In the same panel Select “No” for both Show Date and Show Category. However, you may receive an error saying “Undefined variable: str in /wp-content/themes/vega/parts/content.php on line 108”.

    If so, revert to “Yes” and go to Customize > Additional CSS and put the following code:

    .post-content .post .entry-meta, .blog-feed .entry .entry-meta {
   display: none;
}

    Let me know if this helps.

    Update:

    The error (in 2) appears because of the following two lines in the file:

    <?php if($temp) $str = implode('<br />', $temp) ?>
<?php echo $str; ?>

    The variable $str is declared inside an if statement, hence it is not found in the next line.

    <?php $str = ''; ?>
<?php if($temp) $str = implode('<br />', $temp) ?>
<?php echo $str; ?>

    Declaring it outside the if condition solves the issue.

    Thanks again for the help @subrataemfluence!

    Hey @ashkiml, this is @ricotheque from LyraThemes. Glad you’re enjoying the theme!

    Subrata’s advice is sound; I suggest you create a child theme to keep his suggested customization safe from future Vega updates.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi, @ricotheque, happy to help!

    Apologies for the delayed response but I wanted to thank you so much for such a quick response. I can’t believe I missed those settings in the Blog Feed panel – duh! Changing those settings solved it perfectly. Many many many thanks!
