home page post-list 3 columns

Hi chrisbitz. To implement the php change you would copy the index.php, and other files you want to change, from the parent theme folder to your child theme folder. Then,in the child theme, edit the file and find the line mentioned. Then just change the number after the % sign from 2 to 3. When you’re done that section of code would look like this:

<div class="post-list group">
	<?php $i = 1; echo '<div class="post-row">'; while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
		<?php get_template_part('content'); ?>
	<?php if($i % 3 == 0) { echo '</div><div class="post-row">'; } $i++; endwhile; echo '</div>'; ?>
</div><!--/.post-list-->

Hope that helps.

Thanks very much for the help – I’ve tried a number of different options, but I get various errors, and finally, I simply copied the entire index.php, and pasted it in child/functions with nothing else. I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ot_get_option() in /home/freyacat/public_html/myctest/wp-content/themes/hueman/header.php on line 42

It may be strange, as the error references the original index.php, but I’m positive I’m editing the child index.PHP

Also, both versions of index.php are only 35 lines long, yet the error’s in line 42?

Maybe I have to define that I’m replacing index.php at the top of child/functions.php?

Thanks again, Hope I’m not being dumb ??

I’ve done a bit of reading and searching, and it seems that the problem is that you cannot call Option tree – ot_get_option() in a child theme, without declaring or copying another function in advance or something…

I can’t work out what other things I need to do though – any more clues guys?

I can hard code it in index.php very easily, but that’s not how you learn, is it? ??

Let’s back up a bit. You said you copied the entire index.php and pasted it into the child functions.php file. Is that really what you did? If so, you need to delete all that code in functions.php. Then copy the index.php file from the parent theme folder and put the entire file into your child theme folder. So, if you look in the editor in your child theme, it should list index.php. This is the file you would change as noted above.

Wonderful! Thanks very much. I’d misunderstood your original bit. I thought everything went in functions.php.

thanks very much for your time!
