Sidebar problem

Ok now in the category, archive, and meta tags do the same. Add

&title_li=

and put <ul> and </ul> at the beginning and end.

I’m going to chime in as a newbie here, with a related question.

Here is my link: https://ashleysride.com/wp/

On the right side, I have the column side bar with Pages, Archives, Categories, Related Links, Meta.

1- When I add a calendar widget, it appears on the right, completely removing the side bar, which I want. I’m not sure how to place the calendar below the side bar. I do want the side bar, along with the “Site Admin” link for quick log in.

2- The “Welcome” has a “read more” in the middle, which I want to remove so the entire welcome letter is on the home page. However, if I remove the “read more,” then the ability to leave a comment is removed. If I have the “read more” in there, if you click on “read the rest of this entry,” the entire letter displays and then you can leave a comment. I’m not sure why this is happening.

3- I’d like to edit some text fonts and size. ??? The option isn’t here – just the standard bold, italics, etc. Where do I change the fonts and font size?

4- In Dashboard, I see Pages, Categories, Related Links – but not archives and meta. Where can I edit those?

5 – Oops – almost forgot! How to change the header?

A quart of the most delicious, homemade maple syrup to the first person that answers these questions for me!! Bribery will get me everywhere, I hope?? ?? Thanks much to all of you that assist with the forum! We couldn’t create our pages without your help. It’s appreciated!

…or you can start adding the widgets and change the titles to nothing or anything you want. As soon as you add one widget you’ll need to use all widgets though.

I personally find them very useful. Much easier to manipulate than toying around with the code in the php files. Especially if you’re not familiar with the code. This way in the future when you want to change something you don’t have to go fishing through code you may not understand trying to remember what you did. The widgets are even “MrMarco Proof.” lol

One thing to look for when using them. In the right side, on the top where it tells you how many widgets you’re using make sure you have chosen from the drop down menu ‘which’ sidebar you want to add them to. Usually you’ll see it say sidebar 1, sidebar 2 etc.

The widgets are even “MrMarco Proof.” lol

LOL.

I LOVE code. Taught myself to code everything by hand years ago and try to do it as much as possible.

Thanks, thats fixed most of the issues. The only problem I know have is the “No categories” words in the sidebar?

Any ideas?

Lizbit… WOW! I have Neurofibromatosis. I am covered in tumors and have lots of pain. Which type did she Ashley have? I have type 1. Can’t tell you how shocked I was when I saw what the site was about!

you have GOT to be kidding.

I’m not. I guess this is one of those “it’s a small world” times huh?

Headed there now ??

1. As soon as you add one widget to the sidebar it over rides the normal functioning of the sidebar.php and you can only see whatever widgets you put there. That’s why when you added the calendar widget the rest disappear. If you want the login links just add the ‘meta’ widget. Once added you can drag the widgets into any order you want them to be on your site.

2. Looks like you got this figure out as I can see the whole post on the main page. congrats!

3. This one is tough. You can add a little more options to the inputs by clicking the “show/hide kitchen sink” icon above the entry box. Or use the keyboard shortcut “Alt+Shift+Z”. Other than those few things the font style is determined by the CSS of the theme. In your case the style.css file inside the default theme directory. More than likely you’ll have to settle for what’s coded. You can however create an image with photoshop and use whatever font you want, then upload the image to the post. On the plus side you’ll have a unique look to each post. On the down side you won’t have text in your post because it’s a picture.

4. Sorry about this one. I’m lost on it. Other than heading on over to the respective php script and changing the code. What do you want to change exactly?

5. You can make your own header on photoshop or some other program and save it to the image directory. What I’ve done is the following:
~using my ftp go to wp-content->themes->default->images and download to my computer kubrickheader.jpg. I then change that image file and reload it back to the original directory.

Hi Mr. Marco,

Reference items above:

1- Can the calendar be an event calendar?

2- Well, yes and no. I already knew how to remove the “Read More” separator. But, one issue still not resolved. On “About Ashley” page, I have it open to comments, however, there is no “click here to submit your comments” link at the bottom. I don’t know why.

3. Sigh. Would sure like to have an option to change fonts.

4. In the Pages section, how can I add a link back to the home page? There’s a Home tab at the top, but can’t I put a link back to the home page in the PAGES category?

5. Will want to add a photo gallery of last year’s event, too. Not sure where to begin with this one.

Thanks to you and ThisIsEdie for your help!

1. I’m not sure but I’ll find out.

2. The comments link wouldn’t have appeared on the main page because it’s a static page and the tag for comments isn’t in the page.php however it doesn’t show up on posts either even though the tag is there. I’m trying to figure out why.

3. You can change fonts in the style.css

4. Looks like you got that one figured out.

5. I’m not sure where to begin either but we’ll get it figured out ??

Hi Edie, good morning! I am back in my chatroom if you want to meet me there. Check email.

I’ve downloaded the plugin – still trying to figure out how to use it.

Still confused on a couple things, such as why the tags and “browsing by category” appear on the pages.
