 * Thanks, Kathryn, for giving us the Circa theme. It suits perfect to my friends
   homepage [http://www.phsiotherapie-swertz.de](http://www.phsiotherapie-swertz.de)
   I set up for her. Nevertheless I would like to do some changes to the toggles.
   I’d appreciate if you could help me. I am using the plugin Simple Custom CSS.
   
   How do I manage this:
 * 1. Mouseover: change the hover text
    2. The search toggle should lead to the 
   page “Kontakt”. There is no nead for search. 3. Is there a way to have a toggle,
   that pushes from page to page? The spot on the left of the text part, that has
   the design of a page, would be perfect.
 * Thank you. Looking forward to your reply.

 * These types of changes can’t be done with CSS alone – you’ll need to create a
   [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) because they require editing
   the HTML/PHP. The catch is that because Circa is **already** itself a child theme
   of Hexa, you won’t be able to make a child theme of Circa.
 * There is a workaround for making a “grandchild theme” described here: [http://docs.appthemes.com/tutorials/creating-grandchild-themes/](http://docs.appthemes.com/tutorials/creating-grandchild-themes/)
 * It’s not officially supported but you could try it if you like.

 * I’m not quite sure what you mean by this. If you explain more what you mean, 
   I could let you know whether it’s possible with CSS alone.

 * Dear Kathryn,
    it will take me some time to figure out how to build the grandchild
   as a plugin. It seems complicated, though I have build child themes before. Still,
   I am curios how you would solve my customizing wishes 1. change the Mouseover
   text 2. set a link to another page instead of the search function. My question
   nr. 3 is not so important. Thanx

 * > 1. change the Mouseover text
 * The mouseover text is coming from the title attribute in Hexa’s header.php file.
   For example:
 * `<div id="social-links-toggle" class="toggle" title="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Social
   Links', 'hexa' ); ?>">`

 * > 2. set a link to another page instead of the search function.
 * The search box comes from these lines in Hexa’s header.php file:
 *     ```
       <div id="search-toggle" class="toggle" title="<?php esc_attr_e( <span class="screen-reader-text"><?php _e( 'Search', 'hexa' ); ?></span>
       </div><!-- #search-toggle -->
       ```
   
 * You could replace that with whatever you like.
