Hi all, hoping someone can help, although I understand if it's too out of scope! I'm essentially trying to augment the chapter icon functionality to display a lock based on a third-party content restriction plugin. I've been able to get this working on the home page (set up like the demo page) in the Latest Stories, Latest Updates, and Latest Chapters partials, but I'm running into trouble when it comes to getting the same functionality working in the chapter list on an individual story page.

All adjustments are being made in a child theme.

As far as I can tell, the code to affect these icons is in /includes/functions/_helpers-templates.php and the default code is as follows:

    if ( ! empty( $chapter->post_password ) ) {
      $icon = '<i class="fa-solid fa-lock"></i>';
    } elseif ( empty( $text_icon ) && ! $hide_icons ) {
      $icon = '<i class="' . fictioneer_get_icon_field( 'fictioneer_chapter_icon', $chapter->ID ) . '"></i>';
    } elseif ( ! $hide_icons ) {
      $icon = '<span class="text-icon">' . $text_icon . '</span>';
    }

    if ( ! $hide_icons ) {
      // Icon hierarchy: password > scheduled > text > normal
      if ( ! $prefer_chapter_icon && $chapter->post_password ) {
        $icon = '<i class="fa-solid fa-lock"></i>';
      } elseif ( ! $prefer_chapter_icon && $chapter->post_status === 'future' ) {
        $icon = '<i class="fa-solid fa-calendar-days"></i>';
      } elseif ( $text_icon ) {
        $icon = "<span class='text-icon'>{$text_icon}</span>";
      } else {
        $icon = fictioneer_get_icon_field( 'fictioneer_chapter_icon', $chapter->ID ) ?: FICTIONEER_DEFAULT_CHAPTER_ICON;
        $icon = "<i class='{$icon}'></i>";
      }

      $icon = apply_filters( 'fictioneer_filter_chapter_icon', $icon, $chapter->ID, $story_id );
    }

I tried inserting my own elseifs, but these didn't work - could very well be user error; I do not know what I'm doing. I also found related code in /includes/functions/_setup-shortcodes.php, although comments say this is specifically for chapter lists outside of story pages and /includes/functions/hooks/_story_hooks.php which may be the actual code the story page runs off, rather than _helpers-templates.php?

In order to try to determine which file is affecting the chapter list, I edited the relevant lines in these files from fa-lock to fa-calendar-days, refreshing in-between, expecting passworded posts to show the calendar icon in the chapter list when I hit on the right place to edit. However, none of these edits had any effect - the site continued to show a lock for passworded posts. I purged theme caches in Fictioneer -> Tools and the site cache my hosting provider installs by default is disabled. This makes me think I'm looking in the wrong place entirely for editing icon behaviour in the chapter list.

Am I barking up the wrong tree? If so, where should I be looking? I understand that this isn't something that fictioneer was built to support and I'm happy to keep beating my head against a brick wall trying to get it working, but some assurance that it's the right brick wall would be very appreciated :).
