Modifing front-page.php

Hello,
I am trying to duplicate the featured_content section where the testimonials go. However I want it to pull the content from a different category. How can I accomplish this? I have created the category of "Why Unbreakable" the category id is "6". Please see mock up and screen shoot of current site. I believe I will need to modify the front-page.php and maybe even some functions so I can pull the second level of data. Any help you can give me would be great.

 

Hello Jeff,

Please download "front-page.php" file attached and replace it with your existing front page file.
It will duplicate post area at the front page.
After this open front page file search (ctrl+f) "ENTER YOUR FIRST CATEGORY" and add category name there. Which you want to show in the first row.
After this search (ctrl+f) "ENTER YOUR SECOND CATEGORY" and add category name there. Which you want to show in the second row.

Thanks & Regards

Nitesh,

Thank you that worked to set the section up. Can I modify it so it doesn't show the image, and title. The content I want to display is the post description only. This will be html content only.

 

Hello,

Paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

.feature_blog_content .post .post_image img {
display: none;
}
.feature_blog_content .post h1.post_title {
display: none;
} 

This will solve your issue.

 

Thanks that did the trick for me with one slight modification I needed to identify the two different sections. I needed one to show the images and the other not to. I got that to work. However this caused a secondary issues. The posts for one of the containers is a series of images. And those are being disabled by the above code. How have I disable the leading image but let the body images remain.
