    I’m very new to WordPress, and i have recently started https://www.SlimJim.dk – now i found this nice theme i want, but i cant edit it ?? i want to remove the “[SEARCH THE BLOG]”, all icons from Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Flickr etc. at the top. I want to delete “Recent Post” and edit the “featured links”. But i have searched and searched my dashboard, and i cant find anywhere to do it? Anyone know how?

  • Hello,

    To make the changes you desire, you may need to actually make a couple of code edits to your theme files.

    1) The social icons are probably located inside your header.php file. Look for: id=”socialbookmark-wrapper” and remove the entire div

    2) To remove the search box on top, open your header.php file and look for: id=”search remove the entire div

    3) The “Recent Post” and edit the “featured links” are probably the default display when no widgets are assigned to your sidebar. Please try adding a widget ( WP-Admin –> Appearance –> Widgets – once applied, the current “Recent Post” and edit the “featured links” should be removed

    Hope this helps

    Kind Regards

    Now it says:

    Incompatible Archive. PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

    Christ. I thought WordPress was easy if you were newbie ??

    it is easy to use straight out of the box in the same way that anyone can turn on a car and crash it if they don’t know how to drive! it takes a little patience to master the basics and to grasp the concepts but persevere and before long you’ll be making all sorts of changes to quite complex things.

    what did you do before you got that error message?

    Well, yea. I really want to learn it, but the code-stuff is quite dificult when you dont know anything of it.
    But first of all, i deleted my theme. Then i edited what ebiz_helper said, i tried to both delete just:

    <div id=”socialbookmark-wrapper”>

    and i have also tried to delete the entire stuff:

    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

    Its soooo confusing i think. Why all those </div> at the end?

    Thats looks a bit weird. Sorry for that.

    I just want a very simple theme, with a bit colors and a nice space to write. :/
