• I am really not expecting an answer too this.In my experience a forum is just a way for developers to get out of sorting out problems…But here goes…

    At the top of the category widget is the word “categories” it’s as ugly as sin! Even if you replace it with your own title..it’s STILL as ugly as sin!

    How can I either remove this attribute completely or edit its appearance.

    If you read this then thanks for taking the time… I won’t be holding my breath for and answer tho!!!

    how the widget title is or can be formatted partly depends on the way your theme is using ‘register_sidebar()’ http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_sidebar

    – what theme are you working with?

    I Must say I’m surprised and thanks for the responses!

    I’ve taken a look at both replies, The Grey Parrots solution doesn’t do anything but change the category base name. It doesn’t allow styling or anything else – but thanks for trying anyway.

    Alchymyth’s answer is too technical for me. I’m OK with HTML, and can manage with CSS. But coder I ain’t, and wading thru PHP (or any scripting/programming code) give me the willies!

    WordPress is a great platform but what is needed is a quick and easy way to get rid of ALL unwanted blog properties so that the average person can manipulate the WordPress platform. As it is doing the simplest thing is a major headache if, like me you hate code and looking at it gives you a migraine.

    Because of this I’m trying a different tack. I know there is a plugin that removes the sidebar and I’ve found a plugin and some alternative simple instructions to remove page titles (again, as ugly as sin).

    The next move is to use tables and short code to achieve the effect I want. I was hoping that there might be an alternative way to link from a page to individual categories, but knowing WordPress I very much doubt it.

    Once again, thanks for trying – I really appreciate it.

    Post the url of a page showing the word categories.
