Hello forum,
I think I'd like to experiment with replacing the big red arrow in squeeze page sidebar of the MMM 3.0 template.
I'd like to try making the sidebar look more like my facebook squeeze page template, which includes space for album art, and subtler red arrows:

In the MMM 3.0 Theme under Theme Options, there is a checkbox next to the words "Add a red arrow that points down towards your opt-in form", but this doesn't appear to have any effect on squeeze pages.
I'm guessing the changes I would like to make will need to be made somewhere here in the page-squeeze.php file:
<div id="sidebar">
<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/img/arrow.png"><br><br>
<?php $optin = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'opt-in', TRUE); ?>
<?php echo $optin; ?>
</div><!--sidebar-->
I tried to figure out how to change this myself but there was a weird icon showing up (see screenshot) when I used this code:
<div id="sidebar">
<img src="wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Mountain-Suite-CD-for-FB-Squeeze-Page.png width=300"><br><br>
<?php $optin = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'opt-in', TRUE); ?>
<?php echo $optin; ?>
</div><!--sidebar-->
Thanks for any assistance,
Ezra
Hey Ezra, there is a simple enough way of doing it but its not the only way. You could just go into wordpress via your FTP client. Find the theme, open up the image folder and find the arrow image. The image path is yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/mmm/img/arrow.png
Just rename your new image arrow.png and drop it in the img folder, replacing the arrow. Just make sure to save a back up of the arrow image so you can revert back to it if you want. only issue here is that the change will be universal and anywhere you want the arrow to be, there will now be the new image instead.
There are more graceful ways of doing it but that will work. If you want a more custom solution let me know and I'll ask my developer what you need to do exactly.
