Hi,

I am using full width search and would like to customize the popular categories shown.
In this file : wp-content/plugins/et-core-plugin/app/models/customizer/templates/header/parts/search.php
I see the call to the shorcode do_shortcode(‘[product_categories columns="6" limit="6"]‘);
How I can customize the categories called like that for example [product_categories ids="1,2,3,4,5,6" columns="6" limit="6"]‘); without modifying the core/native plugin ?

Is there a way to do it ? override plugin ?

Regards,

OK … what do you think is the best solution for me to customize these categories?
Override the file and be vigilant during updates so as not to lose my changes?

Hello!

To achieve your requirement you will have to use the child theme and override the file. Then the updates will not lose any theme changes.

If you want me to create a child theme for you please allow me.
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply.
The original file being here :
wp-content/plugins/et-core-plugin/app/models/customizer/templates/header/parts/search.php
I tried to override the file here :
wp-content/themes/xstore-child/et-core-plugin/app/models/customizer/templates/header/parts/search.php
and here :
wp-content/themes/xstore-child/plugins/et-core-plugin/app/models/customizer/templates/header/parts/search.php
but the file is ignored.
As this is a plugin file (and not the theme), how can we overload it ?

Hello,

You can’t change plugin code using child theme. You will lose your changes after update. That’s why it would better to wait for the next theme update where we’ll implement option to choose what categories to display there.
