Adding links to blog…

  • Okay, I’m admittedly retarded and completely new to this sort of thing. I’ve installed wordpress, picked a theme, everything is fine. Now…my sidebar isn’t displaying anything. No links, no calendar, nothing I see on other blogs. Do I need to add these via plugins? If so, where would I find these particular plugins?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • You have added something
    ><script language="JavaScript" src="https://hostingprod.com/js_source/geov2.js">

    and that has blown up the blog.
    If you edit that script out and see what happens ?

    I’ve located it and taken it out via notepad. What do I save it as and upload it as? I don’t want to mess anything up…seeing as I’m new to it all.

    Since I have virtually nothing accomplished…would it be best to maybe delete the existing installation and reinstall wordpress to start anew?

    Don’t try to delete just yet. In order to take that Javascript out, you need to find the file where it is located on your server. So log onto your server, open the file called wp-content, select the theme you are using, and you’ll see a list of files such as “header,” “Index,” “sidebar,” and “footer.”

    Try to guess where this javascript is (if it shows up at the top of your page, it’s likely in the header) then open that file on your server and edit it there. You shouldn’t have tp upload anything.

    It might help you to read some of the information on the WP codex about using sidebars and how the templates work. Even if you don’t have specific questions, the codex is basically a users’ manual for wordpress and will help you solve prpoblems on your own without having to wait for someone to reply to you here.

    Good Luck!

    My blog just all of a sudden started adding this code to the end of our posts:


    <script language="JavaScript" src="https://hostingprod.com/js_source/geov2.js"></script><script language="javascript">geovisit();</script><noscript />

    It is messing everything up due to the <noscript /> part, so we’re having to go back and edit every single post after it’s posted.

    Why is it doing this? How can I prevent that code from being added to the end of posts??

    Thanks!
