I now had a page with some text I want to move up before theese 3 columms – I had before mark “X” somewhere in the theme options, so it automatic change the position, but now I can’t fint it in the theme options.

Could you please help me.

@skandha this is concerning REPLY #253366 and #254638
I had 2 websites, so you can see the difference – the probelem is with the website https://vestegnenssportsterapeut.dk:

I’m already using child theme with static frontpage.

Website: https://larspries.dk where the frontpage order is (the way I would like to show):
1. Logo area
2. Featured slider
3. Homepage headline options
4. Frontpage text – static
5. Homepage featured content options
6. Footer widget area

But at this website https://vestegnenssportsterapeuat.dk ther order is:
1. Logo area
2. Featured slider
3. Homepage headline options
4. Homepage featured content options
5. Frontpage text – static
6. Footer widget area

I want to move point 5 above point 4 at this website also, but I can’t find the checkbox to do it. It has been possible to do it before.

Please advise me what to do?

@lpries: Hello there,
For that you will need to create a child theme like in https://larspries.dk/ and add a function. Let me know if you are familiar with child theme customization so that I can help you out!

Kind Regards,
Skandha

@skandha yes I’m familiar with creating child themes and also some basic HTML5. I already had created a child theme for the website https://vestegnenssportsterapeut.dk

For some years ago, when I began to use the theme Catch Everest Pro the function already was there as a check/uncheck box somewhere in the theme options, but that function had disappeared over the years development of the theme.

But anyway I hope you will be able to help me.

In advance thank you very much

@lpries: Hello there,
Go to => Child Theme Folder => functions.php and add the following Code.

function catcheverest_homepage_featured_position() {
	// Getting data from Theme Options
	global $catcheverest_options_settings;
   	$options = $catcheverest_options_settings;
	$moveposition = $options['move_posts_home'];

	if ( empty( $moveposition ) ) {
		add_action( 'catcheverest_after_secondary', 'catcheverest_homepage_featured_display', 10 );
	} else {
		add_action( 'catcheverest_after_secondary', 'catcheverest_homepage_featured_display', 10 );
	}

}

Let me know if this works out!
Kind Regards,
Skandha

@skandha – I did not worked:

1. I copied the file functions.php from the main theme
2. I add the code into the files functions.php
3. I upload the file functions.php to my child theme

And got this result:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare catcheverest_setup_options() (previously declared in /var/www/vestegnenssportsterapeut.dk/public_html/wp-content/themes/catch-everest-pro_child/functions.php:442) in /var/www/vestegnenssportsterapeut.dk/public_html/wp-content/themes/catch-everest-pro/functions.php on line 442

@lpries: Hello there,
You are not supposed to copy the functions.php file from parent theme to the child theme. The functions.php file should already exist in the child theme. Isn’t that the case?

Kind Regards,
Skandha

@skandha, no I only have the screenshot file and style.css file

[Skandha]

@lpries: Hello there,
If you don’t have a functions.php file in your child theme folder you may not created the child theme the right way. Please use our plugin Generate Child Theme to create a child theme. Follow the instructions here on the Instructions tab.

You will need to backup your customizer settings as well. For that you can use our plugin Catch Import Export Follow the instructions here on the Instructions tab.

When the child theme is created add the above code I provided you in the functions.php file.

Let me know if you have any issues.
Kind Regards,
Skandha

@skandha – you are simply the hero of the day.

It works!

Thank you so much, you had really helped me out with this problem.

The child theme generator is so mush easier to use than my manually child theme programming.

I had learnt the manually way on a course, but only with the files screenshot and style.css. Apparently not a high quality cource.

So @skandha – thank you so much for your help. I love to work with themes from Catch Themes.

Have a nice day.
