easy question to answer . embarrassing

  • Sorry for this question. I”m sure it’s silly.

    We had someone else build our site on WordPress, but that person is no longer with us. I know the basics like “html” ‘how to add a page’ etc….

    But I’m completely stuck with 2 easy things.

    The website is: https://southwestpokernews.com/

    On the right, there are a couple images, and then it says ‘Our Sponsorsfrontad’ in text underneath the 2 images.

    How do I access that entire column?? I want to make one of the images linkable. and I want to delete the text ‘sponsorsfrontad’

    and my 2nd question is. Underneath the ‘leave a reply’ section on the front of my site, it says:

    "You may use these HTML tags and attributes: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b>
<blockquote cite=""> <cite>  <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> "</p>

    How do I get rid of that?

    Thanks for your help!

    [please, next time, do not post in all-caps (topic title de-capped) and use a better topic title]

    For your second question, you can add CSS display to hide it, but I’m not sure why you want it hidden.

    How come?

    As Andrew mentioned, you can hide that text using CSS only. Placing something like this in your theme’s style.css file would do:

    p.form-allowed-tags {
    display: none;
}

    If you want it completely removed from the page, code and all, you can edit your theme’s comments.php file. Look for comment_form(); (it’s near the bottom) and change it to:

    comment_form( array( 'comment_notes_after' => '' ) );

    As for the items in your sidebar, they appear to be normal widgets. You can add/delete/edit them by going to Appearance > Widgets.

    As always, it’s recommended to use a child theme if you plan on making edits to the code.
