Hi everybody… I could not find any discussion adressing this issue.

I would simply like to change the “popular categories” heading into “main categories”. Would it be possible?

Thanks!

Text can be changed through the translation files.

Hi,

popular categories in supreme directory home page is a theme feature.

Please see:

https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-remove-the-popular-categories-section-from-the-home-page/

This is considered a customization.

Thanks

Thanks a lot. So, if I understood correctly, at this stage I can either remove “popular categories” or add subcategories but it is not possible to change the title. Am I right?
Thanks again

I’m sorry, I assumed you had already looked at your options on the Widgets page.

Have you already looked there for what you can do?

If that won’t work, your other option is to go through translations.

Thanks a lot for your patience Alex! I tried adding widget but, as it should be, in that way I can only add another category section, which is a bit redundant (and not as nice as the GD categories…). I guess I will work on this translation process. I should do it anyway to change the location switcher title but it seems a bit hard and I am not that experienced (as you might well understood!)

Hmm…can you make a private reply with your url and admin credentials so I can take a look?

I’m not sure we are talking about the same things.

There should be a Widget called Popular Categories, and you should be able to change the title of it right there in the widget options.

Let me know what you find

Ah, ok. Yes, this one is part of the theme. I see you have already deactivated all the optional widgets that are similar.

You can go the translation route, but this feature can be easily hidden, and then you could make another to replace it.

https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-remove-the-popular-categories-section-from-the-home-page/

Line 442 here is where the code for the section starts. You could hard code a replacement.
view-source:http://cbc.isig.it/
It starts with this :

<div class=”geodir-category-list-in clearfix”>

Better workarounds will be available with V2, release TBD, but work is well under way.
