Change Feature List Element h4 to h3

By default the feature list cornerstone element has an h4 element but I’d rather it have an h3 element. How would I go about changing that?

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! To change the feature box h4 element to an h3 element, you will have to modify the featured box element. Assuming that you have already installed a child theme, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

// Custom Feature Box
// =============================================================================

function custom_x_shortcode_feature_box( $atts, $content = '' ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the information. I have logged in and modified the code. I went ahead and added it again in your child theme’s functions.php file. The feature box title is now using h3 tag.
