“Blogroll” title impossible to format?

    I’m modifying an existing theme and it’s working out pretty well, except that I can’t seem to format the “blogroll” title — it’s an h2 head and I can’t find it anywhere to modify it.

    I was originally having the same problem with the “Search” title, but I found that in the sidebar.php and simply removed the h2 tag, which solved that.

    You can see what I mean at https://studio610.com/amateur6/

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello? Any help?

    If it’s not in sidebar.php, then it may be a WordPress Widget. Widgets have function names that begin with widget_ and are usually in function.php or have their own separate php files.

    Thanks so much — no luck in function.php so I’ll go hunting. Many thanks again!

    No, the problem is in the theme files, not the stylesheet. Check the source — the blogroll title (“Links”) is spanned by a pair of h2 tag that shouldn’t be there. amateur6 needs to find the pair of tags and take them off.

    I think macsoft3 was right about the stylesheet. The h2 tags around the Blogroll heading are inserted by the WP engine, so the only way to deal with it is to add to your stylesheet something like
    #sidebar h2 {the same properties as for your main li tags}
    (make sure to change the #sidebar part to the div id or div class you have in your theme.

    FANTASTIC. Thanks rudolf45 — without your comment I wouldn’t have gotten it fixed OR understood why the fixes I was trying weren’t working.

    Macsoft3 was right, but I HAD been working on the style.css file, but without understanding what I was doing. And thanks for the help anyway, Pinoy.ca — without your initial comment I would have given up on finding help in the forums (no offense to everyone else).

    Resolved!
