I do not see a “draft” button on the page titled “write post”. I clicked on “keep this post private”. That should work.

What specifically is the problem in the CSS? Here is the HTML of the flush left image:

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="135" caption="WXYZ's Wilson"]<img src=”https://www.mcpihome.com/images/steve_wilson.jpg&#8221; alt=”Wilson” width=”135″ height=”133″ />[/caption]

I have not published, only previewed. Is there a way to publish, then unpublish? I am not ready to publish. I will publish for a minute to check it out, but then I need to unpublish. Is there a way to unpublish?

I have not published yet. I have only previewed.

Yeah, and my domain name can be

https://www.goodbyetoarrogantjerks.com

It’s not a reference to you or any kind of insult.

Don’t take domain names so seriously.

Yes, I am also wondering how to add an image to the sidebar. Maybe there’s a helpful widget?

That’s great advice, Otto.

Whooami, thanks for the tip on closing the space in the directory name for my theme.

LenK, I questioned the volunteer’s trustworthiness after she referred to me as the village idiot in the link that contained the code. Does that mean only an idiot would open the file? Again, what we have here is a failure to communicate.

I tried to clear the air about ten posts ago, but for some reason your volunteer needs to continue her little pissing contest. Yes, tempers can flare in these forums. But can’t we all just act like adults for a moment?

Thank you, Whooami, for your tips. I’m still in the learning process, and find the WP instructions to be terribly convoluted and self referential. I have read through the relevant parts, and still have questions. It’s always a learning opportunity when I read through these forums, and if I had more hours in a day I’d read more.

Likewise, I hope our little exchange has provided you with a teachable moment or two.

For what, Whooami? Why should I trust your line of code? As far as I can tell you’re a “volunteer” who enjoys making other people feel bad for not having your awesome tech skills. That’s quite the service you’re providing. I was really hoping to get help from someone with a little more compassion and understanding.

Classy.

I’m not that clear on what widgets are. According to WP, WordPress Widgets (WPW) provide a simple way to “arrange the various elements of your sidebar content (known as “widgets”) without having to change any code.” So if any sidebar content is a widget, then yes, my blogroll is a widget, and since I am using a blogroll, then I am using a widget. But then, if I have been told to change code, then according to this definition I’m not using widgets.

So I guess the answer to your question is yes, I am using widgets, with a small w. But no, I am not using WPW.

I’m inserting code in the r-sidebar file in the theme folder. Isn’t that what whooami was instructing me to do?

I inserted the code. No blogroll has appeared. Do I need to delete a line of code, too?

So now I’ve come full circle. I’ve update WP, and downloaded the same theme I had before. Still no blogroll.

You said I need to insert this line of code:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘categorize=0&title_li=’); ?>

Here:

• /archives” title=”Visit the archives!”>Visit the archives for more!

Does that mean I replace one line of code with the other? Or do I insert the top line into the second, longer line?

You wrote:

Secondly, there should not be any stray files inside your wp-content/themes/ directory. There should be theme directories, and then files inside those directories.

So I deleted the “stray file” index.php. Now I read this:

“The HTML code and CSS references that hold the structure of your page are generally found in the index.php file in your Theme folder.”

Maybe I should click on the word “cutline” at the bottom of my page, instead of the word “copyright”, download the theme zip file again, and upload the new file. Will that work?

Do I need to delete the old theme folder, or can I just overwrite?
