Moesia child theme & Widget customization

  • Hi,
    First thanx a lot for this great theme!

    I’m trying overriding the Services widget / block for the homepage.
    I created my child theme (working so far) and copied the widget template to my child theme respecting original structure : “/widgets/fp-services.php”

    But I’m not sure how to implement the rest : new widget, template path overrride…

    I found vladff comments in this thread, but information there arn’t enough detailed for my ignorance level…

    Also here is my child-theme files :
    style.css

    /*
Theme Name: Moesia 4 Androne
Template: moesia
Author: Concept-43
Version: 0.1
Updated: 2014-12-02 10:52:55
*/

@charset "UTF-8";

    functions.php

    <?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined('ABSPATH')) exit;

// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

if (!function_exists('chld_thm_cfg_parent_css')):
    function chld_thm_cfg_parent_css() {
        wp_enqueue_style('chld_thm_cfg_parent', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css');
    }
endif;
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'chld_thm_cfg_parent_css');

// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION

    I also tried adding the following to my functions.php without success :

    if ( function_exists('siteorigin_panels_activate') ) {
	require get_stylesheet_directory() . "/widgets/fp-services.php";

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    PS : This is a re-post of my misplaced thread which I asked for deletion.

  • Hi,

    I’m doing amending certain widgets to change the default style of some of the widgets and Vlad has pointed out how to do this in the thread you have mentioned.

    Basically create a fuctions.php file within your child theme directory.

    Okay the first bite of code is to register the widget and to give some detail, that’s this bit.

    register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => __( 'Header Contact', 'moesia' ),
		'id'            => 'header-1',
		'description'   => '',
		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget'  => '</aside>',
		'before_title'  => '<span class="contact-title">',
		'after_title'   => '</span>',
	) );

    Ten, again in your child thems functions.php define your new function, below the above code:

    function <strong>your_new_function_name</strong>() {
   ........(your functions code here)
}
//  ADD THE FUNCTION WIDGET
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', '<strong>your_new_function_name</strong>' );

    Don’t overwrite the old function, just add the new one and use it!

    Okay?

    That topic isn’t quite the same. The first block of code that @bobfelstead posted doesn’t help because it registers a new sidebar, and you want to unregister an existing widget and register a new one.

    See this post on how it should be done, it’s really not something special to Moesia. Also if you search our forum for unregister_widget you’ll find other examples.
