# Modding the theme.

 * I am working with antisnews at this (mu) multisite installation: [http://thecitiesfullof.us](http://thecitiesfullof.us)
   using subfolders.
 * In magazine mode, the theme has 4 category feeds to the right and mid section.
   The top two display only one post, the bottom two display three.
 * I located that in the folder /includes/ there are featured php files that appear
   to contain all of the relevant information. I am not a php guru, nor theme dev
   but from what i can see, swapping those around (with a bit of minor code editing)
   should function and work. Does that make sense to anyone else here?

 * Hi … funny you bring this up, as I am dealing with both “featured3.php” and “
   featured5.php” on another desire.
 * What you are looking for is on line 8 of the code.
 * Change this:
    `<?php if(!isset($featured3howmany) || empty($featured3howmany)){
   $featured3howmany=1;} ?>`
 * To this:
    `<?php if(!isset($featured3howmany) || empty($featured3howmany)){$featured3howmany
   =3;} ?>`
 * This will allow you to display the last three posts. I’ve already modified mine,
   and you are welcome to check it out at [http://superstitiondistrict.net/](http://superstitiondistrict.net/)(
   I’m in the process of preparing the site to be revealed at the beginning of Feburary.
 * The challenge I am working on right now is trying to figure out how to make the
   thumbnail images for featured3.php and featured5.php to match featured4.php and
   featured6.php. I can resize the space in the scripts, but can’t figure out how
   to move them to the left of the posts vs. being on top.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Well … it appears my response was a little late (I just checked out your site).
   Will you be willing to share your code for how you were able to accomplish what
   I am struggling with on fe..3.php and fe..5.php, as described above? You have
   it exactly how I would like mine to work.
 * Kind regards,

 * I don’t mind at all, however I don’t think I’ve really done much debugging.
 * I replaced Featured 5 with the Featured 6 php file and rebuilt its numerical 
   references only by category or by 5’s structure (picking it apart some).
 * As always, backup the files…
