Modify Genesis Featured Page Widget output layout

[webgirl]

Hi there -

I figured out how to modify the featured-page-widget.php file so that these display on the home page the way I want, just reversed the order of the title and content with the featured image. Can I upload this to my child theme so it doesn't get overwritten with a Genesis update? Where would it go, what's the directory structure?

Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,

You should be able to upload it. Depending on what company hosts your website, you may be able to access your website's root files through a File Manager in your cPanel. If you can, you would locate the folder of you site, find the correct child theme folder, and upload you php file to it. This would create the changes on your site and prevent them from being overwritten when Genesis updates, because the file would appear to be part of your child theme.

Hope this helps!

You can copy over the file to your child theme's root directory and load it from your functions file using the following code.

There's 2 steps:

1. Load the file. In this case from your child theme's root directory.

include_once( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/modified-featured-page-widget.php' );

2. Register the widget. Assumes you've changed the PHP class to Genesis_Featured_Page_Modified.

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'genesis_featured_page_widget' );
function genesis_featured_page_widget() {
	register_widget( 'Genesis_Featured_Page_Modified' );
}
