Hi @deevd,

Well in that case, you have to first create a child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE.
Then you have to override some function with child theme’s functions.php.
Following are the functions to be overridden.
1. For changing Posted on and by text

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.
		$utility_text = __( '<span class="on-date">Posted on %1$s</span><span class="by-author"> by %2$s</span>', 'adventurous' );

	printf(
		$utility_text,
		$date,
		$author
	);
}

2. For changing Posted in and tagged text

function adventurous_footer_meta() {

	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'adventurous' ) );

	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'adventurous' ) );

	// Translators: 1 is category, 2 is tag, 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.
	if ( $tag_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( '<span class="in-category">Posted in %1$s</span><span class="sep"> | </span><span class="in-tag">Tagged %2$s</span>', 'adventurous' );
	} elseif ( $categories_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( '<span class="in-category">Posted in %1$s</span>', 'adventurous' );
	}

	printf(
		$utility_text,
		$categories_list,
		$tag_list
	);
}

3. For changing Older posts and Newer posts text

function adventurous_content_nav( $nav_id ) {
	global $wp_query, $post;

	/**
	 * Check Jetpack Infinite Scroll
	 * if it's active then disable pagination
	 */
	if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack', false ) ) {
		$jetpack_active_modules = get_option('jetpack_active_modules');
		if ( $jetpack_active_modules && in_array( 'infinite-scroll', $jetpack_active_modules ) ) {
			return false;
		}
	}

	// Don't print empty markup on single pages if there's nowhere to navigate.
	if ( is_single() ) {
		$previous = ( is_attachment() ) ? get_post( $post->post_parent ) : get_adjacent_post( false, '', true );
		$next = get_adjacent_post( false, '', false );

		if ( ! $next && ! $previous )
			return;
	}

	// Don't print empty markup in archives if there's only one page.
	if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages < 2 && ( is_home() || is_archive() || is_search() ) )
		return;

	$nav_class = 'site-navigation paging-navigation';
	if ( is_single() )
		$nav_class = 'site-navigation post-navigation';

	?>
	<nav role="navigation" id="<?php echo $nav_id; ?>" class="<?php echo $nav_class; ?>">
		<h1 class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Post navigation', 'adventurous' ); ?></h1>

	<?php if ( is_single() ) : // navigation links for single posts ?>

		<?php previous_post_link( '<div class="nav-previous">%link</div>', '<span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&larr;', 'Previous post link', 'adventurous' ) . '</span> %title' ); ?>
		<?php next_post_link( '<div class="nav-next">%link</div>', '%title <span class="meta-nav">' . _x( '&rarr;', 'Next post link', 'adventurous' ) . '</span>' ); ?>

	<?php elseif ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 && ( is_home() || is_archive() || is_search() ) ) : // navigation links for home, archive, and search pages ?>

		<?php if ( function_exists('wp_pagenavi' ) )  {
        	wp_pagenavi();
		}
		else { ?>
			<?php if ( get_next_posts_link() ) : ?>
            <div class="nav-previous"><?php next_posts_link( __( '<span class="meta-nav">&larr;</span> Older posts', 'adventurous' ) ); ?></div>
            <?php endif; ?>

            <?php if ( get_previous_posts_link() ) : ?>
            <div class="nav-next"><?php previous_posts_link( __( 'Newer posts <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'adventurous' ) ); ?></div>
            <?php endif;
		} ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

	</nav><!-- #<?php echo $nav_id; ?> -->
	<?php
}

Hi deevd,

The theme is made translation ready by default, you can use translation plugins such as WPML, Qtranslate etc for the translations.

Hi @deevd,

Delete the theme folder or rename is solution for uploading updated theme manually. If you are using Catch Updater plugin, you can skip this step.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

@sakin will help you further on this.
Sorry for inconvenience.

Hi @deevd,

It is recommended to first create the backup before any updates. Then delete the theme folder or rename (recommended) the older theme folder, then install the new updated theme.
Or you can try Catch Updater plugin which will make it easy for you to install theme updates without renaming or removing manually. I also has an option to create the backup of the older theme.
You can download the plugin from HERE.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

The settings in the main theme retains on the child theme if no modification is made through child theme settings. However the changes in styles such as modifying color, width etc in Custom CSS won’t be carried between child theme an main theme.
No you do not have to remove all the widgets from main theme while creating the child theme, I recommend to see if it fixes the issue.
Yes, sometimes, the plugins may affect the way the theme working. Have you tried disabling the plugins?

Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

I just checked your site and now the main theme active, the “Game Countdown” is in the right sidebar. Did you just switched the theme or have you repositioned the widgets also because now there is only “Game Countdown” in Primary Sidebar and no other widgets in footer. Previously in the child theme there were other widgets like “Recent Posts, Recent Comments, Archives” etc in the Primary Sidebar and “Game Countdown” in the Footer Widget.

Please activate the child theme, go to “Dashboard=> Appearance=> Widgets” and remove all the widgets from there. Then add “Countdown” widget to the Primary Sidebar. And go to front end and check where the widget is being displayed.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Mahesh

Hi @[email protected],

Your site seems down so couldn’t check your site. It seems you’ve changed the color for menu in desktop version only. There is another element for the menu for mobile version you’ve to add the CSS rule to that element too.
It is the ul with id=> “header-mobile-menu-block”.

Add the CSS as below

#header-mobile-menu-block li a {
    color: #ff5a00;
}

Note: Add rule to this element as you desire.

Mahesh

Hi @husker,

It seems, you’ve put the Game Countdown widget in the “Footer Area 1”. Please check the widgets are in the right places in admin section.
And what updates have you made to the main theme’s slider?
The changes main theme should be same on the child theme too, unless you’ve modified it to something else in the child theme.

Hope you understand, let me know further.

Regards,
Mahesh

Hi @witgi,

Yes, no problem. Please email it to me @ [email protected].
If you have just modified the theme for secondary menu hack and changed nothing else I recommend you to install a fresh copy of the theme again and check.

Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @husker,

The above mentioned code is all correct. It is working fine as I tested it.
Could you please post in you site url?

Regards,
Mahesh

[Mahesh]

Hi @LiminalLLC,

The issue is not because of the theme itself. It is simply because of the size of the images ( all 3 images are more than 1MB ). We recommend you to optimize the image size. Your idea of changing images from png to jpg is perfect.
The recommended size for the slider is:
Slider
Width: 1920px
Height: 800px

Mahesh

Hi @ShayC,

The above mentioned feature is not allowed in WordPress repository and falls in plugin territory. I recommend you to use a suitable plugin from WordPress Plugin Repository

Hi @Olivier,

Thank you for using Catch Box Pro.

The theme as number of sidebars. Here is some a brief info on which page displays which sidebar.
Homepage Sidebar( if active ) => Display in Homepage
Archive Sidebar (if active ) => Display in Archive
Page Sidebar (if active ) => Display in Page
Post Sidebar (if active ) => Display in Post
Main Sidebar => Displays by default.

If no sidebar is assigned except main sidebar, all page will display main sidebar.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,
Mahesh
