 * There are basically 3 options for changing the Follow/More headings. Two of them
   are discussed in [this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-sidebars-top-text?replies=4).
   The third way would be to copy the sidebar.php and sidebar-2.php files into a
   child theme and edit the text there. Let me know if you have any questions about
   those options. I’ll take a look at the “Next Story” and let you know.

 * Couple of options for the Story text. Both should be used with a child theme.
   If you’re not using a child theme you can download one from the theme website.
   Go to Theme Options, click the Help tab in the upper righthand corner, select“
   Download the sample child theme”, then add and activate the theme.
 * Only one of these options is needed, not both.
 * 1. Add this function to your child theme functions.php file. The “mw” prefix 
   is based on your userid here and ensures that the function name will be unique:
 *     ```
       /* change the post navigation text */
       function mw_change_post_nav( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
       	switch ( $translated_text ) {
       		case 'Next story' :
       			$translated_text = __( 'The Next Post', 'hueman' );
       			break;
       		case 'Previous story' :
       			$translated_text = __( 'The Previous Post', 'hueman' );
       			break;
       	}
       	return $translated_text;
       }
       add_filter( 'gettext', 'mw_change_post_nav', 20, 3 );
       ```
   
 * 2. Copy the parent theme file /inc/post-nav.php to the same path in your child
   theme and edit the text in the child theme file.

 * This is also Possible with Style.CSS and is quite simple.
