• At the bottom of the post page there are right and left arrows that are links to other posts. How can I remove them? Additionally, one of the them sends the viewer to a post with an embedded video, so the viewer leaves my website when they click that arrow.

  • Post the link to your blog so I can identify the class controlling the arrows.

    the page isn’t coming up.

    I did not see the arrows at the bottom of the page. Sometimes the public will not see what you see.

    In the footer on the bottom left, I see.
    “Seed Theme by Organic Themes – WordPress Hosting RSS Feed Log in”

    If you do not want this at the bottom of your page in the footer, you can modify the footer.php file.

    STEPS TO MODIFY FOOTER.PHP:
    1. From your dashboard, select Appearance, then Editor.
    2. From the list of files on the far right select:
    Footer (footer.php).
    3. Scroll down until you see this text:
    “Seed Theme by Organic Themes – WordPress Hosting RSS Feed Log in”
    4. Add comment tags around the text so that it looks like this:
    <!– Seed Theme by Organic Themes – WordPress Hosting RSS Feed Log in –>
    5. save the file and view.

    Another way is to modify this class by adding display: none;
    .footer-content a {
    color: #999999;
    display: none;
    }
    However, “by” will still be visible so it’s best to comment it out from the footer.php file.

    Uh no, really, please don’t do that quite like that. You’ll lose your changes when the Organic theme gets updated.

    Those are good step-by-step instructions but if I may add a step before that:

    0. Create a child theme, activate that child theme, and place a copy of that footer.php file inside the child theme’s directory. Then modify that copy.

    Adding step 0 is safer and will preserve your work.

    Edit: As a bonus you can also put that new CSS in the child theme’s style.css too. Child themes are cool.

    Thanks, but I’m not looking that far down on the post page. Where I see the arrows is right above the Leave a Reply box for comments.

    Your site takes a long time to load. If you installed plugin your are not using any more, removing them will speed up the load time.

    I’ll look for the arrows as soon as it loads.

    That just happened this morning. I added some text, but didn’t make other major changes, so I don’t have a clue. I’m a total beginner.

    From your home page, I selected “comments” from “Where’s the River?” section which takes me to a blog page that has “Leave a reply”.

    Above “Leave a reply” are two arrows. One is:

    ← Over 166 Parks Brought to you by the Boise River || clicking this arrow takes me to the article on your site with the same title.

    The other arrow above “Leave a reply” is:
    In Your Culture → || which takes me to that page.

    As an admin, when you click the arrows it may be taking you to more information about that section of the blog and showing you a video.

    Try logging out of your dashboard, launch the site and click the arrows to see where it takes you.

    I only have one active plug in, a basic contact form that’s been on the site for a week without causing this problem. could it be something to do with our server?

    If you installed and uninstalled multiple themes, you may have several databases that are not being used. This can slow down the load. I know this because when I started with WordPress, I experimented with many themes. I use iPage as my hosting site so I called and they helped me identify the unused databases and showed me how to drop them.

    back to your issue.

    If you would like to remove the links to other articles on your site and your has an area for custom css, you can add this class to the custom CSS:
    .post-navigation {
    display: block;
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0;
    display: none;
    }
    Display: none, will hide the arrows from all post.

    correction: If the theme you are using provides a section for custom css, add the above class to the custom css. If not, it would be best to add a child theme. Jan is correct, child themes are a great way to modify your website.

    Thanks for taking a good look. Can I design the page so that the arrows don’t come up? Or can I restrict the arrows to only show a certain category?

    or your can add a custom css plugin.
