I have several questions (see below)

1. I’m using the Header Variant 10 and I didn’t see where I could modify this.
I found, only header-structure 1-5 in wp-content/themes/royal/headers.

I need to modify this top area so I can add a simple Icon or Wishlist text link. I want to add it right after the search Icon and before the Cart container area.

2. Rather than making changes to the parent the files, could I copy whatever file you’ll tell me I’ll need to edit to my child theme and it would override the parent header file?

3. Where exactly can I modify the Newsletter, My Account, Login/out area?

Hello,

1. Please try to edit the file header-structure-4.php in wp-content/themes/royal/headers directory.

2. You copy the file with the same directory structure in your child theme.

3. You can edit those links in wp-content/themes/royal/framework/theme-functions.php (lines 1037-1090).

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

Editing header-structure-4.php in the header directory doesn’t make any changes for Header variation10. I modified the parent theme, nothing happened. I copied the entire directory structure into the royal-child and made modifications there. Still nothing. What’s going on?

Hello,

Please specify what icon you want to add or provide us with url to your image you want to display between search icon and shopping cart.

Thank you.

the icon is the black heart (it’s part of your sprite imgs “-59px -5px”) , a simple link that points to the wishlist page “/wishlist”, it would be nice if the it was possible via ajax to show a counter that’s applied when they add an item to their wishlist w/o a page refresh, if that was possible at all. It doesn’t need to say wishlist, just the icon as a link.

what would be really awesome is if the heart icon operated exactly like the way the icon for the shopping cart did. when someone adds an item, the number appears. Now I just came across someone who was able to get a counter to load, dunno if this would help to anyone.

Hello,

Unfortunately what you want to achieve requires a lot of additional customization and it’s beyond our basic support scope.
Please take our apologies.
If you have necessary skills you may try to do this yourself. As I see you’re using the 1st header type now and in this case you need edit the file header-structure-1.php.

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

could this then be implemented on your next update? Also, using the child theme to edit this doesn’t seem to work. How come? I keep the directory structure the same but no changes get applied. I understand the other functionality wouldn’t be possible w/o additional customization so to keep it simple, can we just add the icon/link in between those two places I mentioned? Would this be easier as you were ready to do this earlier.

Hello,

I’ve added this code in header-structure-1.php file:
<div class="new_ico"><a href="http://fortune5water.com/wishlist/"><i class="fa fa-heart"></i></a></div>
and this code in custom.css file:

.new_ico { position: absolute; margin: 12px 0 0 57px; } .header-search { margin-right: 40px; }

Now “Heart” icon is shown between search and cart. Please check it.
Keep the file safe or copy it to a child theme not to lose changes after theme update http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

Eva Kemp.
