Customizing Mimbo Pro’s Category Summary Display

One of the most frequent questions we get asked is how to customize the order of the homepage category summaries on Mimbo Pro. With the power of child themes and hooks this is actually incredibly straight forward.

It takes just 5 lines of code, placed in your functions.php file, to change your homepage order.

function bm_alterCategoryOrder($settings) {
$settings['category'] = array(1,2,3);
return $settings;
}
add_filter('bm_categorySummaryDetails','bm_alterCategoryOrder');

All you have to do to set the different category orders is swap the 1,2,3 above for a comma separated list of category ids.
