Implementing Modest Theme

Note

According to WordPress Practice we should be using the Child Themes concept to make changes.

 

Home Page

Change Title of Text of 3rd Box

To change title text of 3rd box, must manually edit file,

Code Block
languagebash
sudo vi /opt/web/php/sunrisemontessori.ca/blog/wp-content/themes/Modest/home.php

Change Amount of Data in Sections

To control the amount of data shown in bottom sections either use "More" tag or use Excerpt (which gives more control).

The More tag would be great, except it does not generate a button to actually get to the article.

To There is an option within Elegant themes,

  1. ePanel
  2. General Settings
  3. General
  4. Use Excerpt When Defined

However it does not appear to work with the modest theme. So instead, to use excerpt change home.php as follows,

Code Block
languagephp
 <?php the_content(""); ?>

...

Though not evident we can use tags in the Excerpt area too.
