Mercy comes with a Child Theme. Simply install Mercy-Child.zip like a regular WordPress theme.
A child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality of another theme, called the parent theme. Child themes allow you to modify, or add to the functionality of that parent theme. A child theme is the best, safest, and easiest way to modify an existing theme, whether you want to make a few tiny changes or extensive changes. Instead of modifying the theme files directly, you can create a child theme and override within.
There are a few reasons why you would want to use a child theme:
Follow these steps to know how to add different icons fonts to Mercy:
Step 1: Copy the icon fonts following the link: theme root / framework / k2ticon / inc / font. An icons fonts standard includes 4 files: your_font.eot, your_font.svg, your_font.ttf and your_font.woff
Step 2: Open file as link: root theme / framework / k2ticon / css / style.css to inform font-face and the whole css class for the new font. (Note to change the path to adapt). For example:
@font-face {
font-family: " your_font ";
src: url("../inc/font/ your_font.eot");
src: url("../inc/font/ your_font.eot#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"),
url("../inc/font/ your_font.woff") format("woff"),
url("../inc/font/ your_font.ttf") format("truetype"),
url("../inc/font/ your_font.svg") format("svg");
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
}
.icon-1 { content: “” }
.icon-2 { content: “” }
….
Step 3: Open file as the direction: theme root / framework / k2ticon / inc/ list.php and find line 729 to add new class of the new icon fonts
‘your_font ‘ => array(
‘icon-1’,
‘icon-2,
‘icon-3’
…
)
Step 4: Open file as the direction: theme root / framework / k2ticon / js / generator.js and find line 56, duplicate line 56-59 and then paste down
if ( selectedIcons == ‘your_font-icons-list' ) {
listIcons.hide();
jQuery( 'ul. your_font -icon-list' ).show();
}
Step 5: Open file as the direction: theme root / framework / k2ticon / k2ticon.php, find line 80 to paste the code down
Step 6: Done!. See the results!
Note: You can replace "your_font" by your own name
