   Hello! I am having troubles with my wordpress. I want my users to be able to register, I know how to do that, but when I add the user widget it has a wordpress.org link. I really don't want that, is there a way to get rid of it?

   Help appreciated.

   Ugh, I'm having trouble placing it.

   I have copied the code and tryed it in various places of sidebar.php but it wont go into the right place. :-(

   I also tryed putting the code into a widget.

   How do I place it so that it will be like all the other widgets?

   You need to add it to your sidebar.php template file. You can't add it to a Text widget. That won't work.

   Yeah, I tryed that, but I can't get it to go into the right place e.g. if I put it at the top it pushes the sidebars down and it doesnt look right.

   Are the widgets stored in the SQL database?

   if I put it at the top it pushes the sidebars down and it doesnt look right.

   Then you need to re-style your theme's sidebar.

   Are the widgets stored in the SQL database?

   The Meta widget is generated by the WordPress core scripts.

   The quick and dirty method would be to open /wp-includes/default-widgets.php and comment out line 299:
   <!--<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="<?php echo esc_attr(__('Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.')); ?>">WordPress.org</a></li>-->

   The down side is, any time you edit a core file, it's overwritten when you upgrade WordPress. It's better to customize your themes sidebar instead.

    You're welcome. Don't forget, on your next WP upgrade, the edit will be overwritten.
