Search Results for 'child theme how to functions.php'

Hello Guys,

We are using some custom Cloud Library templates and for our posts and coming modifications cause me a headache at the moment, because I simply get lost by all possibilities and how you can change things in the Newspaper theme. 🙂

So, let’s assume we starting with a fresh child-theme and I want to add some custom PHP Code to show up an Amazon buying box on a specific position in all posts, which is the best place to start? As we are using Cloud Library templates there are no “physical” files which I can modify and hooking up by functions.php maybe even not work as desired, that options do we have? Maybe I missed something. Could we do something with the Blocks?

I need a big nudge into the right direction. 🙂

Thanks in advance,
Chris

A while ago I created a child theme with the files available in the /code/ folder. In this folder was also the functions.php file with just a few lines of coding. This file is now in my child theme folder. Everything is working fine btw. When I look into the ‘regular’ functions.php file from the latest Newspaper update, I see a much bigger file with more lines of coding. Should I copy this to my child theme or can I stick to the small file which is in my child theme folder for a while now?

Thanks for your help.

I’m just building my first site with Newspaper 9.5

With my WordPress sites I don’t usually get into changes to functions.php etc.

What is the case for and against deploying a child theme?

How can I create my own Category Template? For example, I am already using a Child Theme so I want to make a copy of td_category_template_8.php and create something like td_category_template_88888.php. I do not want to make changes directly in the Child Theme of td_category_template_8.php because I need it for some categories. So I wish to create an entirely new td_category_template_88888.php

Is there a way to do that? Maybe add something to functions.php?

I’ve found this in forum, added to functions.php on child theme, and it doesn’t work.

add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'tu_remove_meta_boxes', 999 );
function tu_remove_meta_boxes() {
remove_meta_box('td_post_theme_settings_metabox', 'post', 'normal');
}

I want to remove this metabox on my cpt:

And this on usual posts:

And rev slider on usual posts:

Hiding them from screen not a good option.

Thanks

I use a list of categories on wordpress pages built with Tagdiv Composer, as well as on standard pages. The site uses the latest version of the theme Newspaper. The list of categories is displayed via shortcode:

function categories_list_shortcode () {
	$args = array(
		'show_option_all'    => '',
		'show_option_none'   => __('No categories'),
		'orderby'            => 'name',
		'order'              => 'ASC',
		'show_last_update'   => 0,
		'style'              => 'list',
		'show_count'         => 0,
		'hide_empty'         => 1,
		'use_desc_for_title' => 0,
		'child_of'           => 0,
		'feed'               => '',
		'feed_type'          => '',
		'feed_image'         => '',
		'exclude'            => '',
		'exclude_tree'       => '',
		'include'            => '',
		'hierarchical'       => 0,
		'title_li'           => '',
		'number'             => NULL,
		'echo'               => 0,
		'depth'              => 0,
		'current_category'   => 0,
		'pad_counts'         => 0,
		'taxonomy'           => 'category',
		'walker'             => 'Walker_Category' 
		);
	$categories_list = wp_list_categories( $args );
	return '<ul class="catslist">'. $categories_list . '</ul>';
}
add_shortcode('categories_list', 'categories_list_shortcode');

If there are round brackets in the category name, this category is not displayed correctly in the list (screen – http://joxi.ru/VrwbyPKu773gRA).

If I change the theme to another, then everything is displayed correctly.

I think the problem is in the filter:

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
add span wrap for category number in widget
*/
add_filter('wp_list_categories', 'cat_count_span');
function cat_count_span($links) {
$links = str_replace(' (', '<span class="td-widget-no">', $links);
$links = str_replace(')', '</span>', $links);
return $links;
}
905-913 lines in /Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php

How to fix this problem?

I followed the guide from WordPress and TagDiv, but my child theme’s stylesheet is not loading. Here are the codes I have in functions.php:

<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
array( $parent_style ),
wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
?>

I read the latest post about this issue and followed some examples, but it’s still not working.

• https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/child+theme+how+to+functions.php/
• https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/woocommerce-single-product-page-and-shop-page/

I created a functions.php, style.css in a new directory called Newspaper-child. The style.css is blank. The functions.php has the code above. Why is it that no stylesheet loads? Doesn’t it fetch AND load the files and stylesheets from the parent template before checking the child? So even if my style.css is blank, it should work, right?

Let me know what I’m not doing right. Thank you.

Hi there,

I am looking to display the last updated date close the articles’ date of creation. I found this code on the net (here https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/display-the-last-updated-date-of-your-posts-in-wordpress/) :
******************************************************
function wpb_last_updated_date( $content ) {
$u_time = get_the_time(‘U’);
$u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time(‘U’);
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
$updated_date = get_the_modified_time(‘F jS, Y’);
$updated_time = get_the_modified_time(‘h:i a’);
$custom_content .= ‘<p class=”last-updated”>Last updated on ‘. $updated_date . ‘ at ‘. $updated_time .'</p>’;
}

$custom_content .= $content;
return $custom_content;
}
add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpb_last_updated_date’ );
**************************************************************

The above code is to be implemented in the functions.php main theme file.

And my question is : what would be the correct code to implement in functions.php child theme ?

Thanks in advanced :).

My authors want to have a hyperlink on each excerpts on the home page..

I tried with plugins, tried to edit functions.php ( I use child theme ! ) but no success.

Soon we will have multi-language magazine – and that makes this request more difficult – ‘cos “READ MORE>>>” also have to be translated…

tagdiv block 4

1

excerpt -read more link but especially on the home page – block 4, block 3

This tuto not works at the moment..:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-a-read-more-link-in-wordpress-excerpts/

// Changing excerpt more
function new_excerpt_more($more) {
global $post;
return ‘… <a href=”‘. g
,et_permalink($post->ID) . ‘”>’ . ‘Read More »’ . ‘‘;
}
add_filter(‘excerpt_more’, ‘new_excerpt_more’);

Could you guys give me ideas how to make it?

this would be applies to home page only:
