Customize sidebar

    I’m using a theme I found a few weeks ago that is not listed on wp.org and everything is perfect other than the sidebar so I don’t want to change themes. The problem is that half the sidebar is great – contains three big links which is exactly what I need. However the latter part of the sidebar is one that only displays info upon clicking (i.e. there is a news link and only if clicked does the news info show). I want my sidebar (below the big links) to look exactly like the default sidebar. I’ve tried doing some basic copying and pasting but I don’t know exactly what files I need transferred over from the Default theme in order for this to function properly; I’m receiving an ERROR message using Firefox. PLEASE HELP!

    You can’t just copy over template files from the default theme to your theme and expect them to work. The sidebar on your theme needs to be edited.

    I tried just deleting the part I didn’t want in the sidebar. Then copying the part from the Default sidebar I did want into my themes sidebar. That didn’t work. I didn’t transfer any files. I just thought I had to in order to make it work – which is why I’m here asking you guys.
