Important Note: To change ‘teachings’ to ‘sermons’ you have to replace the elements in your FTP folder directly. If you are unfamiliar with FTP then do not attempt to do anything in this area on a live site.
To change out the term ‘teachings’ with sermons’ you will need to navigate via FTP to wp-content > themes > exodus > front-page.php.
When you have this open (we suggest using Coda, Brackets or SublimeText), use keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + F” to bring up the find bar. In the Find bar search for “Teachings.” You will find 5 spots that have the words teachings. You will only need to change out three of these.
DO NOT change the first teachings (found on line 56 – “div class=”wrap cp-latest-teachings” this needs to stay the same in order to keep your site in alignment when you change the verbiage to sermons).
DO change the following three ‘teachings’:
1. Line 57: “<>SERMONS<>
2. Line 66: “‘category_name’=> ‘sermons’,”
3. Line 77: “href=”/sermons”
Save & close your front-page.php & open your functions.php page.
Using your “Ctrl + F” bring up the find bar & once again search for “Teachings.” You will find 1 spot that has the word ‘teachings’. You will only need to change out this one.
Save & Close your function.php.
Visit your site & see your changes.
Nice work! Now you can begin uploading your sermons.
