  • You need to edit the sidebar.php file in your theme.

    thank you for your help. I deleted the code in sidebar.php and now the side bar is completely empty. I would like to add a section in there for news that we can update (we are doing a website rather than a blog) can you tell me what to do to add that please?
    Also I seem to have 2 home pages. one is static the other i think was default created with teh template. Nav bar says home twice but edit pagesonly shows one home page?

    I’d suggest that you rename the default post category “News” and use posts to publish your news items. Displaying extracts from these posts on the sidebar itself would require a fair bit of theme editing. But, if you add:

    <div id="#right-block">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li');?>
</ul>

<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar()) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</div>

    to sidebar.php, it will display a link to your News category. You’ll also be able to add the Recent Posts widget (Admin/Appearance/Widgets) to the sidebar and show your last 5 or so news items.

    Also I seem to have 2 home pages. one is static the other i think was default created with teh template

    Open header.php and look for:

    <li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></li>

    Remove this line. Then navigate to Admin/Settings/Reading. Under “Front page displays”, check “static page”, choose your static home page from the dropdown and then save your changes.

    This doesn’t work for me because I’m using the template Atahualpa and there is no sidebar.php. I’ve looked around here and it seems that the author used widgets for the sidebars. This isn’t helpful because I don’t know where to look to edit it.

    What I really want to do is change “blogroll” to “links” and change “recent posts” to “news and commentary.” I don’t want to change the structure — just the titles — and these seem to be hard-wired. I find this strange because just about everything else is easy to change in the interface.

    Any help is appreciated.

    here is the solution:
