Okay, I’ve gone to Appearance > Theme > Editor. Actually, I’ve been there before, but it uses a language that I don’t speak.

…That’s because it’s php. You’re probably like me and is used to coding html by hand.

So, taking sidebar.php as an example — are all the modifications I want to make going to look like this?

…Yes. Most of wordpress tweeking is php modifications.

If so, how do I learn to do them?

…I have no clue because i have YET to “learn” php. I just know certain things because of routine, not because of the reason.

Do I have to learn php? Does everyone who uses WordPress use php?

…Yes

To be honest with you, I’m not quite one of the “helpers” here. I know NOTHING about php, other than what’s guided to me by someone else and trial/error in moving codes around until it works. Most of my posts here in this forum are queries. I was just trying to assist you in actually getting the help that you need. You have to be a bit more elaborate for an efficient solution. Otherwise, your topic will go ignored.

Yeah, the Greymatter comment was rude of me. I get a kick out of my rudeness at times. ??

Good luck in getting the help that you need.

You edit the sidebar in your theme’s “sidebar.php”

You find that in Appearance > Theme > Editor.

It might help if you tell people what version of wordpress you have, what theme are you using, and possibly post the html/php codes for the page you want to edit.

And hey, if you’re still disappointed…there’s always GREYMATTER.

Cheers,

thank you so much Figaro! that worked! i was driving myself crazy all day trying to find where i need to remove that.

Thanks for your submission as well Saurus.

…or is this in the css? I just need proper direction. Thanks again.

Dagon, you’re my hero. It worked. I can’t believe you got it in 5 minutes versus my 5 HOURS of trying to figure it out.

Sadness everywhere.

But thank you so much!

ok. my email is chanellies
at gmail dot com.

I just sent it.

yeahhhh, I just tried that code and it still didn’t work.

What’s your email address so I can email you the zip file of the theme?

oh wow @ the “No” coming from that statement, lol.

As for the rest, I don’t quite understand what you mean. You didn’t see anything odd with the source code I provided above?

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=”main”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class=”post”>
<div class=”post-title”><img src=”https://kisschanel.com/hearts.jpg&#8221; style=”float:left” alt=”” /> ” style=”text-decoration:none;” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_ttftitle(); ?>
</div>

<div class=”entrytext”>

<div align=”justify”><?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>Read the rest of this page »</p>’); ?></div>

<?php link_pages(‘<p>Pages: ‘, ‘</p>’, ‘number’); ?>

</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php comments_template(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

<img src=”https://chanellie.com/footer.jpg&#8221; alt=”” />
</div>

Okay. I did that but now there’s the word “No” right next to my navigation. So that solved the sidebar problem. But why is it saying “No”? LOL.

Hi Dagon. Here’s a link to a test page:

Whew phillwv. That sounds like a lot of work! lol.

Yeah, I tend to get a lot of comments because I blog like once a week. I’m not a daily blogger like most people. ??

lmao @ scolding dude for a simple mistake whilst not answering his question.

That “Configure SMTP” plug-in didn’t work for me but this one did:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

When I had 2.5 my emails stopped working because there was no email filled out in the admin profile. Same for 2.6

But in 2.6.1 I was getting NO EMAILS (whether it needs to be approved or not). But the plug-in i linked above worked for me.
