  • Hi Ghettotoddy. Welcome to the Hueman forum. The right sidebar is named “Secondary” in Appearance > Widgets.

    Thanks. I found the location, but I’m still having trouble seeing how to add a jpg, png or gif there. I’m using this theme for a school assignement, and I want to us the second sidebar as a “adds collumn”. So I allso want to rename the tab from “more” to “adds”.

    Thanks

    Here’s a good reference for adding an image to your sidebar:
    http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-an-image-in-wordpress-sidebar-widget/

    To change the heading on the sidebar you have a couple of options. Both utilize a child theme. If you’re not currently using a child theme here’s how to download one from within the theme:
    1. In Theme Options click the Help tab in the upper righthand corner.
    2. One of the options in the list is to download a sample child theme. This downloads the theme zip file to your local computer.
    3. Install the new theme in your Admin panel by selecting Add New > Upload Theme > Choose File, then select the zip file you downloaded.
    4. Activate the child theme.
    You’ll now have a pre-configured child theme with a style.css file and functions.php file to which you can add customizations.

    Option 1
    1. Copy the sidebar-2.php file from the parent theme to your child theme.

    2. Find this line in the middle of the file:

    <p><?php _e('More','hueman'); ?></p>

    and change it to this:

    <p><?php _e('adds','hueman'); ?></p>

    3. Save the file and you’re done.

    Option 2
    Add this function to your child theme functions.php file:

    /* ------ Change selected text ------ */
    add_filter( 'gettext', 'my_new_text', 20, 3 );
    function my_new_text( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
        switch ( $translated_text ) {
            case 'More' :
                $translated_text = __( 'adds', 'hueman' );
        }
        return $translated_text;
    }

    Let me know if you have any questions.
