Help 'Removing' the Featured Topic feature from Homepage

Hi Dave,

I guess that hiding the lines from 70 to 73 in index.php file, using a child theme, should do the trick.

I hope that helps.

Hi Pothi – thanks so much for your response (to my newbie-ish question). When I removed those lines – my sidebar and post images don’t show up. Due to the lack of support for this theme I’ve since changed to another one.
Your response is very encouraging and I hope will help others.

Thanks again – dave

Your best bet is to overwrite or override the expound_get_featured_posts function in a child theme so that the theme thinks there aren’t any featured posts and doesn’t render the featured posts area at all.

Konstantin,

Thanks for the followup and response. But I would hardly call this ‘resolved’ for anyone looking for support…given the large list of files that “expound_get_featured_posts” exists in; what you’ve given someone (whom is not a theme designer) is a needle in the haystack and not resolution?

@ds679, sorry if that response was unclear, you don’t need to change any of the files where the function exists, you just need to take a look at its definition in functions.php and override or filter it in your child theme.
