   a child theme.

 * Hi ginkku,
 * thanks for using MH Edition _lite_.

   > a child theme.
 * You would need to code your own version of the widget within your custom child
   theme and then modify the query to include your custom post type: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Type_Parameters](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Type_Parameters)
 * Or you could make use of a plugin which provides particular [widgets for custom post types](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+post+type+widget).
 * > 2) How do I change the default placeholder featured image directory to my child
   > theme’s /images directory?
 * You have three options to achieve what you have in mind:
 * 1.) Simply replace the image placeholders within the _/images_ folder of the 
   parent theme.
 * 2.) Modify all parts of the theme that use image placeholders within your child
   theme to load the placeholders from the child theme directory: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_directory_uri](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_stylesheet_directory_uri)
 * 3.) Instead of replacing the image placeholders, you could also just hide them
   with some CSS: [How to hide gray image placeholders in your theme](http://www.mhthemes.com/support/hide-image-placeholders/).
