• I use the default theme that came with wordpress for my photoblog. On the right column there is a section titled “meta” that has:

    login
    validxhtml
    xfn
    wordpress

    And I’d like to get rid of it. Any tips? I’m hoping it’s something in the settings as I don’t really know how to mess around with code. cheers!

  • You can use <!– in front of the source, and –> at the end. The metalist will be no longer visible

    The source is in your theme’s sidebar.php. Remove or comment out:

    <li><h2>Meta</h2>
    <ul>
    <?php wp_register(); ?>
    <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
    <li><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional">Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr></a></li>
    <li><a href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li>
    <li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
    <?php wp_meta(); ?>
    </ul>
    </li>

    I’m looking at the sidebar.php file and not seeing that particular bit of code, HandySolo. I used an automatic install from my webhost…is that why perhaps?

    The code HandySolo posted should be in there. Are you looking at the /wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php file?

    Does your version of the theme use widgets, by chance?

    Go to Presentation. Is there a “Sidebar Widgets” menu option? If so, then just drag the Meta widget out of the sidebar.

    Um, nevermind, I was able to delete the meta column. Thanks!
