Default Theme – links don’t show & need sidebar on post page

  • I just installed WP (apparently days before a new release). I think I have 2.5.1, but I don’t know how to tell.

    I’m using the default theme and I’ve made two small changes. I replaced the header image and pushed the Blog title and description off to the side (changed the relative position in the CSS). Both which took me hours to do.

    So far I am tired and wished this was a LOT less complicated. I also run a Google Blog and although it’a a bit ugly and not as customizable it is sooo much easier to figure out.

    OK! Here is what I need help with. My links/blogroll don’t show up at all. I can’t figure out why, despite looking here for hours. This is brand new fresh install. I haven’t been messing with the php files, nor do I know how. Nor do I want to. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I need to at least have one link back to the main website that the blog is for.

    And on my post page, there is no way to get back to the main page, b/c there is no side bar. Is this really the default setting of the default theme? That is ridiculous. I have been searching the codex for days now and all I see is that “it is complicated to get the sidebar on the post pages.” Really? Please tell me I’m missing something obvious.

    Here’s the blog: https://frogbridgegymnastics.com/blog1/

    Thank you,

  • Oh, they still don’t work? I just asked someone on IRC (WordPress chat room) who says go for the upgrade to 2.6.1 rather than the database, that could be it.

    If you just write over the top of all the files you have, your settings won’t change. Don’t upload the wp-content folder, because if you’ve changed any permissions in there you’ll have to do it again – nothing in that folder upgrades anyway.
