Basic theme edits

[George]

Hi guys,

I want to change a few things as follows, it should be simple.

On a category page, if there are no posts to display, i want to change the text
from:
Sorry, there are no posts to display.

to:
Sorry, we have no pre-made packages available. Please contact us (link here) for a customised package.

and

On the related article pagination.

from:
Related Articles

to:
Related Travel

Thank you in advance!

Hi Kyle,

Would i edit this through the wordpress editor? or the files loaded via ftp?

I can actually find those file paths uploaded, it’s quite different to old themes i’ve used.

You need to access the files through ftp

Hi Kyle,

When accessing the files as above, i get errors on the front-end of wordpress, and it shows me a line number etc.

What am i doing wrong when editing the .php files?

Thank you.

You can only edit the text in between the quotes, for e.g.:

“Sorry, there are no posts to display.”

Hi Kyle,

Thanks, i realised that the ” after changing text was being altered automatically, which was causing issues.

I have another question, should i have duplicate files that begin with ._archive.php instead of archive.php ?

The ._ files were uploaded with my original theme installation, but with updates they’re not included in the theme files. Do you think it would be okay to simply delete these, as i think they’re preventing the changes from archive.php from being shown.

Also, where would these have come from?

Please see the attached image.
