Do you have a child theme set up? That’s the first step so that changes are not overwritten when WP is updated.

Then please post a link to your site with the child theme activated.
Hi again!
Nevermind, I figured it out:
to this:
[modifications should only be made in a child theme]
Modifying theme files is a VERY bad idea… and doing it later will be MUCH harder.
Could the person that deleted the solution consider to have shown how it should be in a child theme? People like myself do a huge search before asking a question and dead end threads like this one or response of “never mind, I figured it out” are not helpful at all and most frustrating.
The search goes on.
