Changing ‘blogrolling’ to another name

  • Hi,

    I’ve just installed WordPress 1.5.1 at https://www.niknazmi.com/wordpress

    I’d like to still use the links manager, but I’d like to put an image as the header as other parts of the sidebar (categories, about, etc, etc), instead of the default “blogrolling”.

    Which file do I edit? I can’t find where “blogrolling” is.

    Thanks

  • ‘Blogroll’ is the link category name. You can change it in Links->Link Categories

    You find it in your sidebar.php template file. Ming told you how to change the “blogroll” name, but to change the rest of the information and replace them with pictures, go into your sidebar.php template file and scroll down or search for the titles (like “blogroll”) and change them to images.

    I recommend that you look into articles like Stop Design’s Replacing Text with Images for tips on how to do this and still keep your page meeting web standards for accessibility and search engine friendliness. It’s pretty easy.

    While you will find the title for “blogroll” in the Admin, the rest of the titles may be in PHP print tags like this:

    <li><?php _e('Categories'); ?>

    Just change the word “Categories” to the right one and it will work fine.
