Editing Meta on Main Page: Help please!

  • Hello. Before I begin, I’d just like to say a few words. I’m new to Word Press (a friend reccomended it to me), I know a little about uploading to the web, I’ve got Word Press set up. I went and looked at a support article for editing Meta, but it mostly dealt with individual posts (either that or I didn’t read carefully enough). Anyway, I’m trying to add or subtract a few links from the Meta area on the main page of the blog, as well as change the font face and color of the word Meta. I’ve already managed to do this with ‘Pages’, but I still want to be able to do it with Meta and (if possible) ‘About the Site’. Once again, I’m new, and if this is in the wrong place, then I apolgize. Any help (particularly detailed stuff) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

  • Give us a link to your site ? And if you also point out the problem area we’ll soon have it sorted ??

    OK, it’s fine to ask questions here, however next time post under the “How-to…” section ??
    Are you talking about the Meta links in your sidebar? Which theme? Usually to edit that you need to edit the sidebar.php file.
    (Yes, I know, unfortunately there is another “meta” in WP, too, which is about the custom fields…)

    I’m using the theme Connections. I’ve edited it a little to suit my needs. I plan to put that in the footer once I get time, so that the original creator gets mentioned. You can see my site at the following: https://sbf.brickfilms.com/

    Oh, I forgot. Yes, I’m reffering to the one in the side bar, but I’ve looked through the code in sidebar.php in Dreamweaver, and haven’t found anything that looks like Meta

    EDIT: I also forgot that I could actually edit posts!

    Try to keep your styling in the CSS file – it will make your life easier on long term.

    The code is usually something like this:
    <li><h2><?php _e('Meta'); ?></h2>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_register(); ?>
    <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>    … etc.

    Thanks to everyone’s help, I’ve managed to edit Meta and get it to the color I wanted. However, I still haven’t found a way to manage those links help within Meta on the main page of my blog (either by adding more or deleting some). Example: XFN, WordPress etc.

    Once again thanks for the great support!
