Need to add 4 add'l image boxes to homepage. The default 4 is not enough.

hi,

copy in your child theme the file “element-boxes.php”.
Change the very first line :

<?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++) { ?>

to 8 i guess (you want 8 boxes, right ?)

<?php for ($i = 1; $i <= 8; $i++) { ?>

then, do the same, ie copy the file “options.php ” in you child theme.
And update by adding as much as new boxes number :

$options[] = array( "name" => "Homepage Box 4 heading",
						"desc" => "Heading for homepage box4.",
						"id" => "box_head4",
						"std" => "",
						"type" => "text");

	$options[] = array( "name" => "Homepage Box 4 text",
						"desc" => "Textarea for homepage box4.",
						"id" => "box_text4",
						"std" => "",
						"type" => "textarea");

	$options[] = array( "name" => "Homepage Box 4 thumbnail image",
						"desc" => "215px x 130px exact. Upload your image for homepage box 4.",
						"id" => "box_image4",
						"type" => "upload");						

	$options[] = array( "name" => "Homepage Box 4 link",
						"desc" => "Paste here the link of the page or post.",
						"id" => "box_link4",
						"std" => "",
						"type" => "text");

i’m not sure but i hope it helps …

hello,

it is recommended not to modify an orignal theme, but creating a child theme because if you update the (original) theme you will lose all your modifications. You can find tutorials like this one

But briefly , inside the folder “wp-content\themes” :
– create a new folder (ex “my-child-theme”)
– inside this folder, create a “style.css” file .
– at the very top of “style.Css” write something like :

/*
Theme Name:     My child theme
Theme URI:
Description:    Child theme based upon the discover theme
Author:
Author URI:
Template:       discover
Version:        0.1.0
*/
@import url("../discover/style.css");

In your “style.css”, you can override original discover styles

you should be able to see your new child theme in the admin panel.

– in your folder “my-child-theme”, you can copy any file from the original “discover” theme, and modify them as you like.

This is where you will have your (copied) “element-boxes.php” , “”options.php “” …etc ….

sorry for my bad english, i’m french 😉

ok Hello !

J’ai fait le test chez moi:
– 8 boxes
– .title-box h1 { font-size:2em …}

et çà marche .

N’aurais-tu pas ajouté quelque part un “display:block;” et/ou “width:100%” de “trop” ? …

un lien peut-être ?

in your style.css, you may add something like this below :

.box-head {
margin-top : 1em
}

but this will also add a space right after the slider, before the very first row of 4 boxes…

yes of course, with some css still.
but your page doesn’t look bad.

@banana13 : hello
I think (but i’m not sure) that you forgot to adapt every (new) id for each box. “id ‘s” are unique you know….In another post i’ve tried to detail the process.

Is that beacuse I can’t write php in the style sheet

>>> no you can’t.

but should make a new php folder?

>>> neither. just copy IN your child-theme folder the original php file, then you can modify it . don’t forget to respect the original tree ,so, for “discover” theme : root.

hope it can help

i’m sorry but i don’t know the “one click child theme plugin”.
i’m used to work my wordpress sites directly in the server….
so i can’t help you there …
