Can’t find template to edit for the Right Sidebar

You need to post a link to your site so someone can see the code.

Ok, thanks,

I keep looking and just can’t find any template that creates the right sidebar. It’s gotta be there!

Maybe because the wright template tag is wp_list_bookmarks?

Here’s the content of my sidebar.php — this is all there is:

<div class="sidebar">
		    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>
                      <?php endif; ?>

			<h3>Pages</h3>
			<ul>
				<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
			</ul>

			<h3>Archives</h3>
			<ul>
				<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
			</ul>

		</div>
		<!-- Sidebar -->

And there is only one sidebar.php and I can’t find similar coding in any other template.

I hate encoded themes. And that one was, by far, the most annoying one I’ve ever seen.

I found and downloaded a copy of the theme. In the footer.php, there’s a thing that starts with eval(gzinflate(str_rot13(base64_decode and so on, then a big piece of ugly text.

The right sidebar is hidden inside that big ugly text. I had to write a simple decoder for it, but here’s the replacement:

Copy everything in there and replace the entire contents of the footer.php with it.

For anybody interested, here’s the quick snippet I wrote to decode the thing:

$string = gzinflate(str_rot13(base64_decode(BIG UGLY STRING HERE)));
for ($x=0;$x<41;$x++) {  // had to loop 41 times to make it finish and give up the html
$string = str_replace('eval','echo', $string);
ob_start();
eval($string);
$string = ob_get_clean();
echo $x. $string."\n";
}

When running a custom theme do the “default” theme templates have anything to do with the layout of of the page?

They can, depending on what the theme contains.

But generally speaking, a theme stands alone. Still, you should always leave the default theme there, just in case.

WooHoo Otto42!

Thank you thank you.

I wondered what that stuff was in the footer.

I expected the missing sidebar code to be in the header or footer, but when I looked at the footer and saw all that gobbledygook I didn’t know what to make of it.

Thank you again!!

I replaced the code with your code and the page displays normally. Now, I can make my edits!!

While you’re at it, go ahead and delete all of the spam links in your footer.
