    I have searched to try to find the answer to this question. I think the problem is that I am so new at this that I find a lot of the answers too technical for me. So, after apologizing for being a newbie of the first degree, let me ask the question. If you have a very simple, step-by-step explanation I’d really appreciate it.

    I want to have a list of links show up on my sidebar. I want them to be listed under the categories I have already chosen using the Dashboard. I want the categories to show up on the sidebar with the related links underneath. For example:

    LINKS

    NEWS
    -CNN
    -ABC

    TECH
    -Cnet
    -Bob’s Brilliant Help

    BUY THIS
    -Crown Heights
    -Gownaus Canal

    And so on.

    Thanks in advance.

  • <li id="news">News
    <ul><?php wp_get_links(1); ?></ul>
    </li>

    <li id="tech">Tech
    <ul><?php wp_get_links(2); ?></ul>
    </li>

    etc…

    The ‘li id’ gives you more css control, and the number in brackets is the Cat ID which you can find on the category page.

    That help ?

    Yes, it does. Thanks!

    Now I’m trying to figute out how to remove the original link list. Is this the code I need to change? And what should I do to it?

    <h2 class=”sidebar-title”>Links</h2>
    <?php get_links(‘-1’, ”, ‘
    ‘, ‘
    ‘, 0, ‘name’, 0, 0, -1, 0); ?>

    Delete it if you don’t want it to show up.

    Thanks! That worked.

    Now, another question about my links. I am using the Minima Plus theme. There is an “about” page that I filled out. I don’t know where to find it in to create a link. For example, I tried https://www.rosweed.com/WordPress/themes/about.php and endless variations of that, none of which worked. Any ideas?

    First off, that file would be located at https://www.rosweed.com/WordPress/wp-content/themes/minimaplus/about.php , but that’s not how you access it anyway. ??

    If you edited the about.php, make a new page in WordPress and pick “About” or whatever they named it from the page templates (scroll down a bit).

    If you made a page and want to get the contents of about.php in it, again, pick it as the page’s template.
