did you add the links widget to your sidebar?
I want it to show up at the top of the page – I believe it’s the header portion for the Elegant Grunge, where the links “Home” and “About” are shown.
So would I use the links widget for that? I thought that would either put it on the sidebar or footer, instead of the top/header.
Sorry completely new to this. Any help would be much appreciated!
When you say links do you mean the blogroll or the list of pages?
Definitely not blog roll, so I guess I mean list of pages?
Have you created the pages? They won’t be there until you create them. If you have, can you post a link to the site so we can take a look?
Here’s a link to my blog:
http://photography.kristindecastro.com/blog
At the top where it shows “Home”, “About”…Those came by default. I was forced to add “Main” as a page but what I really want is a text link to a URL. Not sure how I can do that?
Thanks!
I was forced to add “Main” as a page <– I’m not sure what you mean you were forced? Those links at the top are links to your pages. Do you mean you want a link at the top to another site?
I don’t want a page with a link on it. I want just a link to another site.
you could edit header.php and find this code:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php _e('Home', 'elegant-grunge') ?></a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
</ul>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
put your own link in as list item (two possible places shown in the code):
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php _e('Home', 'elegant-grunge') ?></a></li>
<!--your link here in second place after HOME --->
<li class="page_item" ><a href="http://www.yourlink.com">YOURLINK</a></li>
<!----------------------------------------------->
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
<!-- or your link here after all page links------>
<li class="page_item" ><a href="http://www.yourlink.com">YOURLINK</a></li>
<!----------------------------------------------->
</ul>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
the lines starting with <!-- are html comments and can/should be omitted.
good luck 😉

lets you create a page (so that it shows up in your navigation) but redirects that to any url
thanks to both responses. i’ll give either one or both a try. hope it works! :0)
