Child Theme Module Change Restriction

We created a child theme of the default HubSpot growth theme so that we could have six recent posts in the “Recent Posts Module” instead of the pre-set max of 4. Which is working on the page, but when I go to publish the page, I get this error:

Any insight here?

@TSmith91 after you created the child theme and updated the module, did you replace the module on the page to use the one from the child theme?

modules have unique IDs, so if you didn’t replace it on the page, it’s still using the parent module even if you swapped the template.

Any new page created with the child theme would use the corresponding child theme module.

Hey @Jnix284 -
I did switch it over by changing the template on that page, which is confirmed in the screenshot. But the page was originally on another theme - could that be causing it?

@TSmith91 it looks like you changed the theme/template, but that doesn’t change the module ID directly - you have to delete the existing module and add the new one in the Drag-and-drop editor to fully swap it out.

Once you drop the new module on the page, you’ll have to reconfigure all of the settings within the module and that should allow you to change it to 6 if you have iet coded that way.
