# Adjusting .php files

* This should be an easy one for someone who knows what they are doing. I feel
I am close but I don’t trust myself enough to actually adjust a plug-ins code
without having someone else take a look.
* I am using a simple plug-in, basically all it does is cause a random pop-up to
appear on-screen when a page loads. What I would like is for all the pop-ups,
while differing in content, to have the same format. Right now, I simply copy/
paste the formatting individually for each pop-up and then add in the content.
* Here is the part of the plug-in’s code of which I am pretty sure is relevant
to what I’m trying to do. I am aware I could be wrong, so please correct me if
that is the case. Below the plug-in code is the formatting code that I would
like to include.
* Thank you for taking your time to help me out 🙂
* Plug-in Code
* ```
/*
* Insert Default Popup
*/
function epa_html_include() {
if(get_option('epa_default_id') == 'latest'):
$latest_popup = wp_get_recent_posts(array('numberposts' => '1', 'post_type' => 'epapopup'));
$popup_content = $latest_popup['0']['post_content'];
elseif(get_option('epa_default_id') == 'random'):
$random_popup = wp_get_recent_posts(array('numberposts' => '1', 'post_type' => 'epapopup', 'orderby' => 'rand'));
$popup_content = $random_popup['0']['post_content'];
else:
$default_popup = get_post(get_option('epa_default_id'));
$popup_content = $default_popup->post_content;
endif;
//$epa_html = '';
$epa_html .= '';
if(!isset($_COOKIE['epa_popup'])) {
echo $epa_html;
//echo $latest_popup['0']['post_content'];
}
}
function epa_default_popup() {
if(get_option('epa_enable') == 'yes' && get_option('epa_default_id') !== '') epa_html_include();
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'epa_default_popup' );
/*
* Generate JQuery Code
*/
function epa_js_overlay_include() {
$epa_js = '';
echo $epa_js;
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'epa_js_overlay_include' );
```
* Formatting Code
* ```
';
```
* ```
$epa_html .= '
';
```
* ```
$epa_html .= '';
```

* Leave the CSS stuff outside of the PHP for now. You can add that afterwards by
using a Custom CSS plugin.

* So literally just put `$epa_html .= ' See?
';` for the line and then download
a Custom CSS plugin? If so any recommendations for such a plugin?

* If you’re not using a Child Theme, and if the theme doesn’t have a designated
section of the dashboard for CSS modifications then install this Custom CSS Manager
plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
* Then use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=704634)
to hold your CSS modifications.

* Woohoo! Thank you so very much! I realize now I was making that waaay more complicated
than it needed to be, haha.
* Thank you again, you are a virtuoso!
