I can't see any problem. Can you be a little more specific?

Posted 2 years ago #I was able to fix it thanks. I have one more question. How do I get rid of the blogroll thing on the side?

Go into your Admin panel, click on the 'Appearance' header if it isn't already opened up and click on 'Widgets' and you will see on one side/the left side a list of deactivated widgets and on the right side a list of active widgets.
Remove the 'Links' widget from the active widgets by dragging and dropping or by clicking on the down arrow next to the word 'Links' and clicking on 'Remove' at the bottom of the widget block.
That should remove your blogroll, which is a list of links.

Posted 2 years ago #Links isn't activated. I want to delete the words blogroll on my site since I don't need any links under. Also how would I move the categories over to where it says blogroll on my site?

Links isn't activated.
Oh yes it is. From your page source.
<div class="widget widget_links"> <h3>Blogroll</h3> <ul> </ul> </div>Also how would I move the categories over to where it says blogroll on my site?
Move the Categories widget from the east sidebar over to the west sidebar.

Posted 2 years ago #Ok this is what I tried. I added the Categories to West, there was nothing on East. Now Blogroll is gone which I wanted but there is two categories. How do I get rid of the one on the far right? I removed it for now so it doesn't look dumb but Blogroll is back. I went through all the widgets area, north, south, west, and east and no links but blogroll came back.

Posted 2 years ago #The theme you're using is set up to put the Blogroll widget there automatically if you don't put widgets there yourself. Go into your sidebar.php file and comment out lines 136-141. It should look like this when you're done:
<!-- <div class="widget widget_links"> <h3>Blogroll</h3> <ul> <?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0'); ?> </ul> </div> --> -

Posted 2 years ago #I don't understand what you mean by the brackets, where do they go? at the beginning at end of what? I want the categories be on the right of the side bar with nothing next to it. I managed to do that but it duplicates the categories when I put it on the right.

Posted 2 years ago #All right, try this: put the Categories widget back in "West", and put an empty text widget in "East". If that works, then awesome. :)
If that doesn't work, then try the following:
In your Admin panel's sidebar there should be an item titled "Appearance". When you click on it a sub-menu will drop down, and one of the items on that menu should be titled "Editor".
Click on that and you'll see two things: an editing window (probably open to "style.css") and a list of all the PHP and CSS files in the theme you are currently using on your site.
One of those files should be titled "Sidebar (sidebar.php)". Click on that and it will open that file in the editing window.
This next part might be a bit of a pain. You need to find this part of the file's code (start from the bottom of the file):
<!-- sidebar east START --> <div id="eastsidebar" class="sidebar"> <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('east_sidebar') ) : ?> <!-- categories --> <div class="widget widget_categories"> <h3>Categories</h3> <ul> <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=0&depth=1'); ?> </ul> </div> <?php endif; ?> </div> <!-- sidebar east END -->That is the code for the sidebar that is giving you so much trouble. Within that piece of code is this part:
<div class="widget widget_categories"> <h3>Categories</h3> <ul> <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=0&depth=1'); ?> </ul> </div>In front of that little chunk of code you need to type this:
<!--And after it, you need to type this:
-->When you are done, that chunk of code should look like this:
<!-- <div class="widget widget_categories"> <h3>Categories</h3> <ul> <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=0&depth=1'); ?> </ul> </div> -->Click the button on the bottom titled "Update File" and reload your website. The extra Categories in "East" should be gone. If it is, great. :)
If it's still there, then I only hope you can forgive me for putting you through all this for no reason. :(
