How do I hide “Logout” and “Site Admin” links from the “Site” Sidebar?

    Hi,

    I’d like to be able to do this.
    Also, secondarily, can I hide that sidebar altogether?
    From what I’m understanding (but is not entirely clear in the codex), I should be able to edit this in the dashboard’s “Links Manager” tab. But in Links Manager, I’m not even seeing “Site” as a selectable catagory. By default it’s “All”, and “Blogroll” is category 1.

    Edit the sidebar.php in your theme.
    And yes, you can “hide” (or leave out) the sidebar – you just have to edit your theme. Or pick a theme that doesn’t have sidebar.

    You could find your sidebar.php and simply remove it or rename it. Then find any files that call the sidebar.php (such as index.php and header.php) and remove the get_sidebar call. Then in your CSS just remove any sidebar reference. Backup first

    Not having a sidebar is not an option for me. I’m currently using the Neuron theme:
    https://bluegator.org:66/devel/themes/1.5/Neuron/
    I’m not seeing in the sidebar.php of this theme what exactly to edit.
    I need to achieve what I stated in the subject line, to continue using this theme.
    My other alternative I’m looking at is Steam:
    Steam v1.5

    and I don’t see where in sidebar.php to do this.
    I’m suspecting that I’m missing something really obvious here. ??

    K when you go to edit your theme (I am assuming your using WP 1.5) with the presentation part and theme editor. You get a page where it has a large text box with your stylesheet in it, and on the right you have YOUR THEME NAME, and all the files within the theme.

    Can you just post all the filenames that are there then I can tell you what to edit.

    I am using WordPress 1.5, but I’m not sure what you’re asking me to post.

    go to your admin area. Click “Presentation” then look for a link that says “Theme Editor.” At that point, you shoudl see a big text box, with a bunch of files listed on the right side of it. Post the list of files, and basketball shoudl be able to help you.

    Weird, I posted the exact thing that cmhbob just said a few hours ago and it disappeared.

    I took a look at the Neuron theme, and there should be a sidebar.php file. In that file, go to where it says

    < li > <?php wp_loginout (); ?> < /li > and right below it where it has <?php wp_register(); ? >

    you’ll want to take those out or move them somewhere like your footer where no one pays attention. That will remove the login and siteadmin links.
