Change Homepage Featured Bottom Box to Html/Text box

[tammiekaren]

Hi - I've moved the Homepage Featured Bottom Box up right under the Featured Content Gallery but it's not big enough and I'd prefer to be more creative with an html/text box option in this location instead.

Can I do this? And, if so can you help with explicit directions - I'm a relative newbie.

Thanks!!

Karen.

Welcome to the forums :smile: When you say you want to get more creative, exactly what are you looking to do with it? It may or may not be a custom solution, so more details will help us help you.
Also, we'll need your site's URL, please.

Thanks Rebecca for a quick response!

I'd like to have paragraphs, color, different fonts etc. and having the option for the box being able to expand based on the amount of information in it.

Here's an example of my old website http://www.thelawofattractioncenter....action-center/ and I would like to do something like the text part, but much nicer.

Can I do that?

The good news is, that's already built right in, with just a minor change.
You need to create a category called 'Welcome' or something like that, and make just one post in it - the sales copy post that you're after. (Try getting the TinyMCE Advanced plugin for more font assistance.)

Then, in the box area in home.php, look for this:

<?php the_content_limit(350, __("[Read more of this review]", 'studiopress')); ?>

and change it to this:

<?php the_content('Read more...'); ?>
