I have been searching for this in v2.8.4 </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1183701 Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:53:26 +0000 William David Grimes 1183701@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks cos. I was looking for that. I found older messages about widgets.php that were, uh, older, outdated, and didn't help. default-widgets.php did the trick for me. I deleted the link I didn't want. --WDG </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1107583 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:52:28 +0000 cosmocatalano 1107583@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>For anyone still curious, in 2.8, the code for the "meta" widget (and other default sidebar widgets) is stored in <code>\wp-includes\default-widgets.php</code>.</p> <p>ryanweijian, if you delete the following lines (and <em>only</em> the following lines) from that file, the meta section will remain installed, but with the the RSS, Comment RSS, and Wordpress Themes links removed:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php bloginfo(&#39;rss2_url&#39;); ?&gt;&quot; title=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr(__(&#39;Syndicate this site using RSS 2.0&#39;)); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php _e(&#39;Entries &lt;abbr title=&quot;Really Simple Syndication&quot;&gt;RSS&lt;/abbr&gt;&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php bloginfo(&#39;comments_rss2_url&#39;); ?&gt;&quot; title=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr(__(&#39;The latest comments to all posts in RSS&#39;)); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php _e(&#39;Comments &lt;abbr title=&quot;Really Simple Syndication&quot;&gt;RSS&lt;/abbr&gt;&#39;); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wordpress.org/&quot; title=&quot;&lt;?php echo esc_attr(__(&#39;Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.&#39;)); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;WordPress.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;</code></pre> <p>To hide the Meta section entirely, go into the Dashboard and select Appearance, and then Widgets. Then just drag the "Meta" section out of your sidebar, and into the "Available Widgets" box.</p> <p>Let me know if that's not clear and I can put together some screenshots. None of this involves/requires the MiniMeta plugin. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1087810 Sun, 31 May 2009 08:46:25 +0000 ryanweijian 1087810@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>maybe i'm just too clueless about this wordpress related stuff.</p> <p>to save me from extra trouble, how do I just remove the Meta Section in my blog. </p> <p>because despite the simple step by step instructions, I can't find a way to remove those un-necessary links in the Meta Section which is already installed with every single wordpress blog installation<br /> the links are the standard<br /> 1) RSS<br /> 2) Comment RSS<br /> 3) Wordpress Themes</p> <p>Just tell me how to get rid of the Meta Section from showing in my wordpress blog.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1069222 Sat, 09 May 2009 13:35:11 +0000 MichaelH 1069222@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>1a. Activate the plugin,<br /> 1b. Under Appearance-&gt;MiniMeta Widget "Add New Config", configure what you want shown,<br /> 1c. Appearance-&gt;Widgets, add that Widget, Edit the Widget and in the Widget Config pulldown select the widget you configured in 1b.<br /> 1d. Save the Widget.</p> <p>2. That may be correct, but depends on your theme. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1069071 Sat, 09 May 2009 08:38:12 +0000 ryanweijian 1069071@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p><strong>Question 1:</strong><br /> I've installed the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/minimeta-widget/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/minimeta-widget/</a><br /> but i don't know how to use it.</p> <p>Inside the installation instructions is too general with no step by step tutorial on how to use it.</p> <p>How do I get to the log in page to sign into the minimeta widget like those in the screenshots?</p> <p>I have activated it, but is still very much clueless about how this thing works in wordpress blog.<br /> <strong><br /> Question 2:</strong><br /> If I've installed and activate the minimeta plugin into my blog, does it mean that I no longer need to edit the meta section from the php sidebar using a free editor already? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1064285 Mon, 04 May 2009 14:01:19 +0000 MichaelH 1064285@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>1. it's likely to work at 2.7.1. can't hurt to try it.<br /> 2. yes free editors work<br /> 3. notepad2 isn't bad<br /> 4. you can use the theme editor to direct edit a file that is on your host, or some FTP programs such as filezilla allow you to right click on a file on the host and edit it directly and the ftp program opens the file in your locally designated editor, then when you close the editor, then filezilla will save it back to the host.</p> <p>Also since your are new, and wary about things, please read and execute <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups">WordPress Backups</a>. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1064280 Mon, 04 May 2009 13:57:14 +0000 ryanweijian 1064280@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>my wordpress blog is version 2.7.1 so I can't use the minimeta-widget since it's only for version 2.5+ right?</p> <p>with regards to the text-editors, those free versions are usable right, even with bugs inside?</p> <p>any recommended free text-editors for example?</p> <p>let say if after i finish editing the text editor, do i save it and upload onto the internet server via FTP or just save changes to the php file? &gt;&gt;- in short - are the changes immediately and live to the blog? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/267402#post-1064270 Mon, 04 May 2009 13:48:36 +0000 MichaelH 1064270@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>1. don't use dreamweaver. use one of these:<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Text_editor" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Text_editor</a></p> <p>2. yes, but that's up to theme authors</p> <p>3. no easier way unless you use widgets and DON'T use the meta widget, then you won't have see any meta link info.
