Ah. So if I understand this correctly now, the Blogroll category is still there, but you were instructed to delete all of the links that were associated with it. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

The links that are created under the blogroll category by default are just links to various wordpress sites (documentation, support forums, themes, etc) and really aren’t terribly important for your site. The links themselves are useful, but you were probably instructed to delete them because you’re going to want to replace them with links of your own, to other blogs or sites that you enjoy.

If you go to Links->Add New in the admin interface, you should be able to create a new link by doing the following:
1. Type in a friendly name in the “name” box. e.g. “Google”
2. Add the url in the “web address” box. e.g. “https://www.google.com”
3. Under the categories header, check the Blogroll checkbox.
4. Click the blue “Add Link” button on the right side of the screen.

Hello there,

Is this a new install? Did you set it up yourself?

What links are shown (if any) when you go to Links->Link Categories in the admin interface?

Have you tried adding the Blogroll category back in?

You’re welcome sir! Glad to help. ??

Not at all, but if you can’t navigate directly to:
https://yoursite.com/WordPressInstallDirectory/wp-admin/options-general.php

Then you will probably have to edit the database manually.

If your webhost gives you access to phpMyAdmin, you can use Steps 2 – 13 in this section of this article here:

I don’t believe this is possible, and I’m sure there are some good reasons behind it.

The following might be a possible workaround for you though:
1. Create a new user and assign them the role of “contributor” (uncheck the send password checkbox if you don’t want them to know it).
2. Edit the post and change the author to your new user.
3. Edit your new user and change their role to “subscriber.”

You’re welcome! I’m glad that worked for you. ??

Hi Andrew,

Assuming that you’re using the default theme, you’ll need to manually edit the following file in order to remove the blog title and tagline.

/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/header.php

I would strongly recommend creating a copy of this file before editing it, just in case something goes wrong.

You can edit this from within WordPress (if the file permissions on your server will allow you) by going to Appearance->Editor within the WordPress admin interface. Or you can edit the file with a text editor like notepad.

Basically you’ll want to find the following chunk of code in header.php:

<div id="header" role="banner">
<div id="headerimg">
    <h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

    <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div></div>
</div>

And delete or comment out the following two lines:

<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>

Someone else might have a different / better solution, but as far as I can tell, this should do what you’re looking for without breaking anything else.

I haven’t used the bad behavior plugin, but wouldn’t deleting or renaming the plugin (via ftp or a control panel) disable it on your site?
