Let’s stick with this thread – I’m not sure what it is you are trying to do and any modifications will likely require you to use a Child Theme – do you have that set up?
no child theme. What I want to do to make my idea simpler is to turn the images into links for the pages they go with
So have you made changes to theme files (under Appearance > Editor) ? If so, they will be overwritten when the theme is updated – so that’s why you’d want to use a child theme.
I’m also not that familiar with this theme – it looks like those are widgets?
they can be widgets as an option. I did not set them up. Yes I have altered the file
I’d really recommend you make a child theme and move your changes there…otherwise you will have bigger problems down the road when you need to update the theme.
