    This may be basic …. apologies .. I am new to this. I have installed and activated Cakifo and Cakifo child. I am using the Front Page template and I would like to change the heading “Recent Posts” to “Life at Basill Manor”. Not a language translation just a change of the English text.

    basill manor

    Any and all help very much appreciated

    Aha I have found where I need to make the change …. in section-recentposts.php ….. It is starting to make sense now.

    Hello,

    Glad you found a solution 🙂

    Another solution is to create a child theme (https://github.com/jayj/Cakifo/wiki/Child-themes) and use this in the child theme functions.php:

    /**
 * Changes the 'Recent Posts' heading.
 *
 * @link http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/gettext
 */
function tb_cakifo_change_recent_heading( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain ) {

    if ( $untranslated_text === 'Recent Posts' ) {
        return 'Life at Basill Manor';
    }

    return $translated_text;
}

add_filter('gettext', 'tb_cakifo_change_recent_heading', 20, 3);

    That way you won’t lose your changes if you update Cakifo.

    – Jesper

    Thanks for your reply. I had in fact created the child theme and copied the section-recentpost.php to it before making the change.

    Your solution looks much more elegant and I will implement that.
