…. and then I have re-installed WP and re-installed the sidebar widget and tried again – still no luck.

So, basically, everything is installed, but nothing “stays” once I drag n’drop and “save” the changes I have made.

Is there anything else I have to do to make the sidebar widget work apart from “activating” it in the plug-ins section of the WP control panel?

Or is there something else I am missing here?

Okay – I’m still no nearer fidning out why my sidebar widget drag and drop does not update.

I’ve even changed themes, and that hasn’t helped. Is there anything else I have to do to make the sidebar widget work
, apart from “activating” it in the plug-ins section of the WP control panel?

Thanks

Solved!
I read delted the offending .php file from my server files, and that did the trick.

Solved!

Did some digging and found that I had to go into “edit category” and then select “show by id” in there – and then it shows it in the correct order on the blog.

Dreamhost for me ??

Excellent packages and support. “One click” installation for many software including WordPress.

Okay – here’s the blog: https://www.blogbypass.com/

The category, (for the links), is called “Previous Life” it’s on the left hand side of the page.

There are different ways to show the links when displaying them in the “Manage Links” section of the WordPress control panel – name, link id, (which puts them in the correct date order as I would like them), uri, description, owner, rating. But even displaying them by “link id” in this interface, has no effect on how they look on the page.

Sorry, I’m new to all of this WordPress, php, coding activity – I wouldn’t know where to find the code.

All the “creating category/links” activity is just done from the WordPress control panel.

Where would I go, (and what would it look like), to find the coding?

Paul

“Ah ha!”, again – thank you ??

Yes I am actually – why would that make a difference?

Ah ha! Just huge big delay – all done and updatd now :O)
