Thanks

but I don’t think it will do what I need it to do.

thanks anyway

Does anyone know how I can select the current page and make thte link for that highlight?

I know that my main index.php for the blog I am happy as is (I show the 3 most recent posts), but when I click on a permalink how can I make the sidebar link that relates to that pages permalink highlight?

I got this resolved, I had block elements blocking my links.

I eventually found what I was looking for……

in the folder wordpress\wp-includes
there is a file called widgets.php

I needed to find the actual output part for the rss and found this function:
function wp_widget_rss_output

within that I got the echo for the HTML and added my target=’_blank’ in this section near the end of that function:

echo "<li><a class='rsswidget' href='$link' title='$desc'
target='_blank'>$title</a>{$date}{$summary}{$author}</li>";

it works a treat now

I am looking to have what is in the dynamic bar…

the title of the fees, then the permalink to the latest feed, as it is external from sources like BBC, how can I do that?

so that when I click on the permalink, it opens a new tab/window?

I can see that in the functions.php file this has something to do with the code:

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
        'after_widget' => '</li>',
        'before_title' => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
        'after_title' => '</h2>',
    ));

but I can’t seem to see where I can add in a target=”_blank” to the link that is produced…

can someone point me in the right direction please?

sorry wordpress is here:

Ah, I just tested that, it works thanks….. wish there were reps here you would get a bundle….

I always tested this with the default theme, and this always showed up on the blue banner, but so glad it is not on the theme.

thanks again

But I dont want these fields showing up on my theme…

so where can I change this in wordpress???

Here is the feed I have, it is still in test mode:
https://www.pfs-ifa.co.uk/resources/wordpress/feed/

My feed keeps the URL

here is a feed from the BBC
https://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/business/economy/rss.xml

this feed looks like: BBC News | Business | Economy | UK Edition

I fixed my problem,

I woke up 2am this morning having an epiphany…..
in the wrapper have the overflow:auto, this would show me what was going on, so now it is overflow:hidden, no scrollbars, but it works perfectly now….. I don’t know why I never thought of that in the first place….

so the borders now only go to the end of the footer, and not beyond as I have taken the wrappers height away.

is there any way I can put a background colour to the table cell that has a link in the calendar?, one that fills the whole cell, not just the number???

I got the calendar resized and I got the links color changed so it is more obvious what has a post, but I would like to highlight this even more.

mercime, this has helped, but this only goes down half way, or to be precise, it goes about 20px below the sidebar, which will probably be the section that will be smallest, as comments will be enabled.

but the side borders do not go down to the bottom, although now a good bit further,

it never really helped, it broke up the theme and it was a mess.
I even tried it with the body being a different colour, but even that did not seem right…..

looks like this is not going to be able to be fixed to keep the border on the wrapper, although the wrapper is the really the largest container apart from body, so not sure why it wont stay 100%???
