Hi there,

I have two things to ask.

1) Is it possible to combine featured content and latest-posts together into one section. I would like to display featured content in the left half and latest posts(3) on the right half.

2) On the latest posts dipslay it says Posten on date by author. I only want to display the date.

any help is appreciated.

thanks

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;
    }
}

Regards,
Mahesh
