Hi @venumurki,
1. For your first issue i.e. combine featured content and latest-posts together into one section, this is beyond the theme scope, you have to hire a customizer.
2. The second one, hiding Posted On in latest post, create a child theme ( You can find the details on how to create a child theme HERE ). Then in child theme’s function.php add the following codes. This will hide the Posted On from post in home page only.
if ( ! function_exists( 'adventurous_header_meta' ) ) :
function adventurous_header_meta() {
$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>',
esc_url( get_permalink() ),
esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() )
);
$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>',
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'adventurous' ), get_the_author() ) ),
get_the_author()
);
// Translators: 1 is category, 2 is tag, 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.
//
if ( is_home() && ! is_paged() ) {
$utility_text = __( '<span class="on-date">%1$s</span><span class="by-author"> by %2$s</span>', 'adventurous' );
}
else{
$utility_text = __( '<span class="on-date">Posted on %1$s</span><span class="by-author"> by %2$s</span>', 'adventurous' );
}
printf(
$utility_text,
$date,
$author
);
}
endif;
3. For displaying search box instead of magnifying glass, please add the following CSS in “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS” box:
Note: This will only place search box in desktop view as it may cause design issue in responsive design. So the mobile view will be same as before.
@media screen and (min-width: 981px){
#header-right .header-search-wrap {
display: block;
position: static;
padding: 0;
border: none;
opacity: 1 !important;
}
#header-search {
display: none;
}
#header-right #header-search-widget{
width: 272px;
}
}
