Additional Feature Boxes

[Rebecca Morency]

Hi Bill,

Is there a way to have more than one row of the feature boxes on the home page? I have a topic that breaks into 15 visuals and am picturing a home page of just clickable feature boxes (with your cool hover caption).

Thanks.

Becky,

You can have more than 5 there. Here’s how you can change that:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose page-home.php
3. Find this line:

   
   <?php $recent = new WP_Query("cat=".of_get_option('features')."&posts_per_page=5"); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post();?>
   

   and change the 5 there to 15.

4. Scroll down just a bit and you’ll see this section:

   
   <?php 
   			   $args = array( 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'asc','posts_per_page' => '5',
   			   	'tax_query' => array(
   			   		array(
   			   			'taxonomy' => 'menu_group',
   			   			'field' => 'id',
   			   			'terms' => of_get_option('featured_menu')
   			   		)
   			   	)
   			   );
   			   $recent = new WP_Query( $args );
   			   
   			while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); ?>
   

   change the 5 here to 15 too.

5. Save your changes.

That should do it for you. If you have any questions or trouble, let me know,
Bill

Thanks! It’s turning out just as I pictured it.
