Editing the sidebar

  • I need to update the links in the sidebar on a site I inherited, and I’m having trouble finding out how to do that. I’ve reviewed the documentation on the matter, but I haven’t been able to find instructions for accessing it for editing.

    I’m having the same problem with the standard graphics at the top of each page. I need to remove one of them, but, again, I can’t seem to locate the WordPress functionality that would allow me to do so (although I’m sure it exists, of course).

  • sidebar:

    possiblities:
    – the links are added via a widget – check admin – appearance – widgets
    – the links are hard-coded into sidebar.php (or any other sidebar-???.php file);
    – the links are hard-coded in any other template of your theme;
    – the links are added via a theme or admin option – check the left sidebar in admin for possibly ways.

    graphic:

    possibilites:
    – hardcoded into header.php of the theme;
    – uploaded via a theme option or admin – appearance – header option;
    – inserted as background image via CSS.

    you have not provided enough information for an more specific reply.

    can you provide a live link to your site?

    Thank you for the information. The site we’re talking about is https://www.abmi.net. I’m trying to remove that hideous “30 Years Service” image (which looks more suited to a dry-cleaning service), and I’m trying to update the now out-of-date links in the sidebar.

    I will investigate the possibilities you laid out. And, again, thank you very much for your assistance.

    The image you are talking about is not a part of the sidebar at all. It is in the header file. If you want to take it out then you will have to open the theme editor, choose header.php from the links on the right hand side and try to locate the image there. Look for logo-19245491.png.
