Customize links on a sidebar that came with a theme

  • Hello,
    I’m building a site using a theme but I’m not very knowledgeable on the more technical stuff.

    In the individual service pages, for example https://traesoluciones.com/asesoria-en-logistica-internacional/, there is a side bar with all the other services included in it. Each of them must link to its respective page, which have the structure https://traesoluciones.com/(name-of-the-service). However, there is a predetermined configuration on the theme I’m using which makes all the URLs on that sidebar https://traesoluciones.com/service_category/(name-of-the-service). My question is how I can customize those URLs to not include “service_category” but only the name of the service after the main domain URL as I stated on the example above? I’ve asked the theme developers and they said this can be done if I pay for extra support, but I’m not willing to do so since I’m only asking for instructions (and I don’t think this is a complicated process), not the actual implementation.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Seriously ??

    I recommend asking at that theme’s support so the theme’s developers and support community can help you with this.

    I did so but as I explained in the first message they were not willing to help unless I paid extra for the support (that particular theme’s support is not very helpful. From reading the other questions, they’re always trying to upsell). I’m just asking here in case someone can instruct me how to do it myself.

    Normally I wouldn’t get in the middle of something like this but that seems slightly greedy to me if you paid full price for the theme and didn’t receive enough documentation to figure this out and they didn’t even try to tell you.

    Quick fix might be to just install a redirect plugin and redirect their derived URLs for your item to your actual page URL.

    I guess you could also modify the theme but if it was me modifying a theme like that I’d go for a child theme then and set a goal of Child Theme’ing that theme right into non-existence.

    Another option would be to remove their sidebar widgets in favor of substitute widgets or a ‘menu’ containing your links using the custom HTML widgets provided by WordPress.
