I need code to stay on everypage! and other things

the files you need to edit are in your theme. look in wordpress/wp-content/themes/default (or change default to whatever theme you are using).

why not just alter the code of the footer.php and header.hph files?

… this will work for you and get you the results you are looking for …

if you need help, here is my contact infor:

bradhuss at hyperactive-media dot com

Meta can be found in the header file as well.

Hm. I think OP was asking about the Meta section in the sidebar.php.
So, freshprince, open the sidebar.php file of your theme and edit/delete whatever you need.

ladydelaluna … email works better for me than the forums … i don’t always have ready access ot the forums … i am just offering it out there so they have direct contact to me and i will work with them individually …

maybe i do not want everything that we discuss to be published here on the forum …. take for instance .. marigotvillage.com (there was certain private information like his FTP username and password that he had to give to me to help him out that could not have been passed along to me expect by email).. i was able to help him via email and IM when he contacted me to get his WP up and running …

so maybe, you need to think before you post your ignorance.

MOSHU has already contacted me about “my services” – from a previous post – but as you can see … I am offering myself for FREE … but i desire to be contacted by email … it works for me.

“so maybe, you need to think before you post your ignorance.”

IGNORANCE?! don’t even get me started.

If you cannot offer help through the forum – don’t post. It is that simple.”

thank you, moshu.

-I want to put an ad on top of every page, including the main page, archives, etc etc (My server bills are getting expensive)

edit header.php in your theme. after the body block is opened, you can insert a DIV block for a leaderboard ad space… put whatever you want (adsense, etc.).

-Again on the bottom of the page I want to include (C) 2006 (MY SITE NAME), I want this to be constant and appear on every page too

footer.php usually controls this. But in some instances, it’s at the bottom of index.php, inside the main content block.

-Also I signed up for extreme tracking and I want to keep track of my page hits, I want this code to be constant on my page too.

footer.php or sidebar.php could include that.

-Also I want a sidebar on the left hand as well, I want to post pictures and when people click on it, it send them to their weblogs

then you need to either heavily mod your theme, or start with a theme that has a left sidebar already.

(note that index.php is NOT always the core page, as depending on the theme you could have custom code running archives, single pages, etc…)
