    I have just installed wordpress and want to add a menu list of links on the right side of the page. How do I do that?

    Is it a menu or a widget? I added a widget but it didn’t give me the space to add any links. How is this done? Thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • The theme you are using (currently) is Twentyeleven theme. The sidebar is widget area. You can put any widget into it including menu link.

    The only thing we have to do is choose a page template that has sidebar. We can do this by assign the page template within page edit, look for the page template drop-down metabox at right side, if it’s not there pull down screen option at the top right and checkbox for it to appear.

    I still don’t see where I can type in the url for each link. I’m in menus and thats for navigation on the site. I just want to have a list of links to different web sites. How do I do that?

    I have the side bar, just can find a way to add links. Maybe I need a text box.

    I tried to add links but they don’t work. I’ve done this before and didn’t have these problems. Maybe I need to try another theme that works better.

    Now I have links that I never added. How do I edit the list of links?

    Now you have that page template with sidebar assigned, that’s why it shows up. What is in there right now is Meta Widget, to get rid of it just click to remove it, or sometimes theme set to show this as a default when there is no user put in widget yet. What you need, in this case, is a Custom Menu widget, and when we select our own widget the default one will automatically disappear.

    Thanks, but where is the place to check so the link opens in its own tab?

    target= blank

    This is not how I used to go about adding links. Very confusing.

    I solved my problem, for a list of links I use a text widget, that is what I used in the past. ??
