   I'm new to WordPress, using version 2.1, and I'm trying to setup my blog using the mesozoic theme.

   The original settings (code) for the blogroll in sidebar.php ( <?php wp_get_links(1); ?> ) didn't end up showing any of my blogroll links, so I replaced it with ( <?php get_links_list(); ?> ). Not sure why the original code didn't show my links...

   The links show up now, but with the name of whatever category they are posted under right on top of the link (see the 'Friends' label above my one Blogroll link). I dont want this text to show up, at all (I have an image that says 'Blogroll', that's enough).

   How do I get rid of it?

   Thanks for your time, I've tried everything and gone through all the files with no luck...

   It's a really annoying change that they made. Just replace that links code with get_links();

   Thanks for your reply. When I add that code it gets rid of the category text, but adds the description for each link on every line and removes the bullet (li) graphics. Bah.

   I want to ged rid of it too, It was easy before. You just left the space empty in dashboard under link categories. What to do now. It's messing up the entire design.

   wp_get_links(X) will still work. It's just that your link category of "1" is likely not the same category number anymore.

   Go to Manage->Categories and find out what the category number of your Blogroll category is. Then change the number you're passing to wp_get_links().

   Otto42 nailed it - good call.

   Change your sidebar.php file's blogroll reference to point to the correct ID number, which you can find from the WP management interface > Manage > Categories.

   Thanks!
