Hello Blake,

In that case (not having access to widgets) you need to hard code your sidebar.php file.

Pick a spot where you want to add the image (you might have to play around with this for a while and I recommend you always keep a backup of your current sidebar file (or any other file you toy with).

Now do this:

1) Upload the image to your website and note the image URL. It would be something like https://www.yoursite.com/imagename.jpg if you upload into html folder

2) Find the spot in your sidebar.php file where the image goes and type the following code taking note of your image dimension and the position you want it (i.e. center, left, etc).

<img src=”https://www.yoursite.com/imagename.jpg&#8221; align=”right” />

You might have to insert image properties too such as width=”150px” height=”200px” and if you do, then simply adapt the px size to your image size and insert this code between the code.

Hope this helps
Monika

Hi katers,

I can help you do this if you still need help. I tried to send you a pm but didn’t see any method to do this.

Send me an email to monikasarticles [at] gmail.com and I get in touch with you ASAP.

Oops I meant UNIX command. Sounds like Chinese to me.

Hi Whooami,

I’m not sure what you mean by LINUX command. I just did what was said by the creators of this theme in the instruction manual. My logo is situated here https://www.writingnomad.com/wp-content/themes/traveler/images/logo.gif so what do I need to change where to make it show? Do I just insert this whole URL where the logo brackets are in the css, or do I need to change something else?

Sorry to be a pain in the butt but I really don’t understand all this coding stuff.
Cheers
Monika

Thanks SageMichael but non of these tips helped. I’m not sure what is the problem. ??

Hi Cairo09

Use the more tag in your WordPress WYSIWYG editor (where you write the posts). You’ll need to click on the “code” version to insert the following code below the last line you want to show.

<!–more–>

If you do a search on Google for automatic excerpt Plugins you can install a Plugin instead which saves you having to write this code into every blog post.

Yes it is. You obviously have already renamed that file to the right name, all you need to do now is to edit it and insert your 3 names as explained above by organicw

Thanks people,

LenK, no you don’t have to remind me about the Plugins and I appreciate your explanation in detail. It’s good to know there is an easy way to upgrade instead of having to fuss around like normal.

Use this instead: go to dashboard – options – permalinks than type this /%category%/%postname%/

into the custome structure field and don’t forget to save options. This is best for SEO anyway.

Thank you, that worked a treat. I actually had to add it to page.php but I think that was a typo on your behalf.
I appreciate your help ??

That link you gave loads very slow but eventually the site shows and there is nothing wrong with your header and footer? BTW I’m using Firefox.

Looks like you might need to upgrade.

Did you install the plugin in the right directory? Sorry to ask but often we tend to overlook these things?

Also, you want to make sure that it doesn’t sit in a double folder e.g.
public_html/wp-content/plugins/pic_lens/pic_lens

It should only be the one folder of your Plugin. Also, some Plugins only need the actual .php file uploaded, not the folder especially if there is only a .php file within.

Just de-activate the Plugin and you should be fine. If it doesn’t work after trying again it might not be compatible depending on the version of WP you are using/

It shows ok in my browser. Make sure you are using a wide enough browser resolution as this could be the problem.

Thanks crazy_jane,

I managed to get it so that all the post meta is showing now in the pages as a sidebar, but I still can’t see posts and categories. I copied the whole code starting from sd_right into the page.php but I think something is still missing.

Could you help please.
