  • Sounds good. I do suggest that you create a custom plugin, rather than modify the functions.php file of your theme. That way… if you ever switch themes, things should continue to work as expected.

    Creating a simple plugin is quite easy. I always use the free plugin Pluginception. Once active, it creates a new option under Plugins called “Create a Plugin” or something like that. Then you just have to give it a name… then Save it… Paste in the code, save again, and test.

    Hope you feel confident giving this a try. Once you succeed with it your confidence will surely grow. I will keep tabs on this thread and reply at least once daily!
