Look in your theme files:
/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/sidebar.php
Open or download and open
sidebar.php
and look for the "About" section.
Most authors include it but comment it out with
//
Just remove the
//`
and add what you want there.
If you don’t find that, you’ll have to add it manually to same file.
thanks samboll. Unfortunately I’m not really sure how to do what you suggested. Can I find this about section in the theme editor? I’ve looked there, but don’t see it. Could u give me the exact address to go to to find my theme files? In other words, what goes in front of this:
/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/sidebar.php. My blog is found at:
here
…the exact address to go to to find my theme files
Well, they should be on your computer 😉
FTP to your site or look in your host control panel file manager where the WordPress install is.
Yours would be similar to:
public_html/custom/blog/wp-content/themes/default
Inside the default folder you will see
sidebar.php
follow above instructions.
Or do as above in going to your
sidebar.php
file and give it a permission (CHMOD) of 666 then you can work on it in the theme editor. CHMOD back to 644 when complete.
Look for this:
“<!– Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.
- <h2>Author</h2> A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview. —>”
Remove this:
“<!– Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.”
and this:
--->
Replace this:
“A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview.”
With
“Whatever you want to appear in the sidebar.”
There is an AboutMe widget plugin.
