How do I change the hover ALT tag on the social icons? I figured out how to “hack” the social icons to get ones I want. I replaced the Myspace icon in the actual image with a Yelp button and it works fine. But the ALT tag still says MySpace. I’ve found all instances of MySpace in the code and changed them and nothing changed.

<label><?php _e( ‘MySpace’, ‘catchbox’ ); ?></label></th>

Is this not it? How do I change the ALT tag? Thanks.

@rckstr: For changing any core theme files, first you need to build child theme. Then just create functions.php file in your child theme and copy the function catchbox_socialprofile() from parent theme. Then you can change the title="MySpace" to title="Yelp"

I am trying to do the same thing, but those functions are not in my functions.php. Have they been moved?

@medicsontheball: Are you checking in Catch Box Pro theme. Then the function will be in catchbox-functions.php file inside inc directory.

Thank you, that worked. However, I tried putting a copy of this file with the changes I want into the child directory (even put it in an inc folder) but it didn’t read the changes. Is it ok to leave the changes in the original or will they get overwritten during an update?

@medicsontheball: If you make changes in the original core theme files then it will be overwritten when you update the theme.

then how can I get the child theme to recognize the new file?

@medicsontheball: I have already given you the instruction. You don’t need to add catchbox-functions.php in your child theme. You just need to copy catchbox_socialprofile function in your child theme functions.php file and edit it.

oh..sorry, I missed it. I read it very late last night. However, in my catchbox-functions.php there is no catchbox_socialprofile function. There is a function catchbox_social_networks()

is that the correct one?
