To randomly display the Portfolio items

Create file _index.php in wp-content\themes\x-child-ethos\framework\views\global
and copy the code below into that file.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_INDEX.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// =============================================================================

$stack = x_get_stack();

Hope that helps. 🙂

You can try the solution. As your stack is different, you have to create different the file in a different directory – wp-content\themes\x-child-renew\framework\views\global (Re check the stack and name)

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Thanks for writing in.

Upon checking the code above, it is still working. You can let us know if it is not working so we could take a closer look on your setup. Don’t forget to create a new thread so you could send us private details that only you and us could view.

Thanks.

I just need to tell you one thing: the child theme folder structure here for me is different. I installed the child theme this week, and there’s no such path as you mentioned above. These files I uploaded to wp-content\themes\x-child\framework\views\global.

Thanks a lot for the great support!!

Yes, the x-child-renew or x-child-stackName is the old naming of the child theme, where different child theme for different stack. But the current version of child theme (x-child) is a kind of one for all stack.

Glad we could help, Cheers!
