Change Featured Pages Title and Links.

    I need to change the Featured Page Title and Links for my website but I can’t figure out a few things. I found these snippets on the themesandco website but I cant figure out what part of the code I should change to get what I want. If this were CSS I would just copy and paste to see what i get, but this is PHP, I’m kinda afraid of php because last time I made an error on one code and my whole site crashed. Got an error message every time i tried to log in or see my site. Don’t want to risk making another mistake again.

    These are the codes I need to add to my PHP file but I’m unsure what part I should change.

    To change the titles, this is the code I need to put in my PHP, but I don’t know what part of it to modify.

    add_filter('tc_fp_title' , 'my_custom_fp_titles', 10 ,3);
function my_custom_fp_titles( $original_title , $fp_id = null , $page_id = null ) {

    //assigns a custom title by page id
    $custom_title = array(
        //page id => 'Custom title'
        2 => 'My custom title',
        9 => 'Title Example for page id #9'
    );

    //if no custom title is defined for the current page id, return original
    if ( ! isset($custom_title[$page_id]) )
        return $original_title;

    return $custom_title[$page_id];
}

    To change the links, this is the code I need to add. What part do I modify? Also where can I add the target=”_blank” to open in a new window?

    add_filter('tc_fp_link_url' , 'my_custom_fp_links', 10 ,2);
function my_custom_fp_links( $original_link , $fp_id ) {

    //assigns a custom link by page id
    $custom_link = array(
        //page id => 'Custom link'
        2 => 'https://www.my-custom-url-one.com',
        9 => 'https://www.my-custom-url-two.com'
    );

    foreach ($custom_link as $page_id => $link) {
        if ( get_permalink($page_id) == $original_link )
            return $link;
    }

    //if no custom title is defined for the current page id, return original
    return $original_link;
}

    If you can answer my question I’d greatly appreciate it! Also please be as specific as possible. Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone help me? This is one of the final problems I’m dealing with on my website. Once I get this sorted out, I can finally publish my site online.

    I decided to try and change the codes on my own. Didn’t break my site! :p I added the code at the top for changing the links. I figured out what part of the code to modify. I changed the “2 – 9” to “page id’s” and added the url of the page I want it linked to. But nothing is happening, the links are staying the same in the featured pages. Is there something I’m missing? Do I also change the numbers “10 & 2”?? Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!

    I tried changing the same lines of code for the title’s snippet, but nothing is happening. What am I missing??!? Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    TheMadWiddler1200, if you’re scared to break your site you should try your changes in a local installation.
    That said, you have the right snippets.
    Also where you took those hooks is explained how to grab the page_id
    https://themesandco.com/snippet/setting-custom-links-featured-pages-customizr/
    what do you miss?
    About adding the _blank target, there isn’t a specific hook to add link attrs, but we can hack the second snippet changing this piece:

    //assigns a custom link by page id
    $custom_link = array(
        //page id => 'Custom link'
        2 => 'https://www.my-custom-url-one.com',
        9 => 'https://www.my-custom-url-two.com'
    );

    with this:

    //assigns a custom link by page id
    $custom_link = array(
        //page id => 'Custom link'
        2 => 'https://www.my-custom-url-one.com" target="_blank',
        9 => 'https://www.my-custom-url-two.com" target="_blank'
    );

    That should do the trick.

    No you don’t have to change those 10 and 2.
    Are you using an fp plugin?
    A link to your site?

    Hi d4z_c0nf! Thanks for replying, really appreciate your help! ??

    I’m new to wordpress, what do you mean make changes in local installation?

    Also, I AM adding the page’s ID. I replaced the “2 – 9 ” with the pages id # but nothing is changing. 

    add_filter('tc_fp_link_url' , 'my_custom_fp_links', 10 ,2);
function my_custom_fp_links( $original_link , $fp_id ) {

    //assigns a custom link by page id
    $custom_link = array(
        //page id => 'Custom link'
        814 => 'URL WHERE SITE WILL LINK TO',
        815 => 'URL WHERE SITE WILL LINK TO',
        816 => 'URL WHERE SITE WILL LINK TO'
    );

    foreach ($custom_link as $page_id => $link) {
        if ( get_permalink($page_id) == $original_link )
            return $link;
    }

    //if no custom title is defined for the current page id, return original
    return $original_link;
}

    Am I missing something?

    I am not using an FP Plugin. Should I?? I would gladly link you to my site but it has nsfw pics on it. Don’t want to get in any trouble.

    Wow, I should install the Featured Pages Customizer plugin for any code to work, shouldn’t I? If this is the problem, I’m gonna slap my self, hard, really effing hard! @d4z_c0nf should i install the plugin??

    No you should not use a fp plugin if you don’t want to. I asked just because those filters don’t work, without changing them a bit, with fp plugins.
    It’s weird, they should work.
    Just to know, did you selected the fp pages (I mean assign a real page ot any featured page) in Customize -> Content: home, posts… -> Front Page ?
    You should.
    I don’t care about nsfw, but if you don’t want to write a plain url, give me some keywords so I can find it on google ( can I? is t reachable through google? )

    Thread Starter TheMadWiddler1200

    (@themadwiddler1200)

    I really hoped that not having the plugin was the problem, if it was it would of been an easy fix. I did select featured pages, they are all linked to home. Should I remove this option, leave them blank? It’s not reachable through google, sorry. I really want to link you to my site, but I’m afraid I’ll get in trouble here for linking to an adult site. I really appreciate you trying to help.

    I’m sorry I cannot see what is happening..
    Anyway no, you don’t have to leave them blank, but if they are all linked to home then.. what are those 814 815 816 ?

    I did it! I got it to work! The codes were working properly, i didn’t know I had to change the links in the customize menu. Even my titles now appear!

    Many thanks for your help, d4z_c0nf!!

    Np.
    Now you can use the “trick” I suggested to have target=_blank in your links.
    Glad you solved.
    Could you mark this topic as resolved?
    Thanks.

    Np ??
