Probs Editing TM Template Display

  • Website is up and running at https://www.PattyBrooksDove.com
    Problem: Can’t find access in Dashboard to edit the sidebar layout OR edit the sections for “Links” and “Meta” ….

    I have already created links under both “Links” and “Blogroll” and made the Bogroll default links “not visible” but I cannot edit/delete the “lipsum deforum” default text links and get the hyperlinks crweated to display instead.

    Second issue is much the same …. need to edit the META proper, as well as “fix” the display on the website (don’t want all that being seen).

    Am I missing something here, or am I supposed to edit a template file itself???

  • A lot of times this information is hardcoded into the template files themselves and you will need to edit them directly. I had to directly edit them to remove the META info from the theme I use. Check the wp-content/themes/your_theme/sidebar.php for that info.

    Thanks for the response, but apparently that is not really provoing to be a viable solution to the real issues …. [ see later post here ]

    It all goes back to which WP version the template was written for, and the secondary issue of the Wp archived versons not having a theme pre-installed in them whatsoever, which pretty much makes for a useless install altogether!

    The only real soution is to glean insight from whatever WP Codex discussions/instructions are available to “code-up” the template itself so it will function with the current version (which are more desireable anyway, already pre-loaded with the widgets and tools AND being self-upgrading).
    * That is why I have sent this “once simple” project off to a programmer for completion, as this not only solves this one blog installation issue, but will provide tested patch code I can apply to other Wp installs using Premium templates.

    Whatever affordability that was provided using WP and a sharp template has been completely wiped away, now that I have been required to invest in a independent solution …. you’d think WP would foresee this issue and would at least preserve their legacy versions with at least ONE theme pre-installed, let alone reply in the Forums with a satisfactory solution!!
