the blocks option
???
From the widgets admin menu, you can drop custom-menu widgets in your sidebar (one for your archive menu, and another for your category menu), if your theme allows it. And then specify a title for each one.
Yes, for some reason the titles don’t show up, despite having titles in the widgets. That’s what I’m looking for the source of. How do those get generated?
If the sidebar option is to display as Posts, the title and all shows. If as blocks, it’s just the block without the title.
Thanks
Okay.
Just to be sure, check if you can find, in the functions.php of your theme’s folder, a function named register_sidebar(). It should have an array passed as a parameter. This array should define, among other options, something like this (
`’before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”widgettitle”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’`
Maybe the theme uses this to hide the title (don’t know why they’d do that, though..)
The wp function to call sidebars is dynamic_sidebar("nameOfTheSidebar"). Should be called in your theme’s sidebar.php. And defined in your wp-includes/widgets.php folder
The code is http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.1.3/wp-includes/widgets.php but I think you didn’t go hacking this far.
Thanks, but nope. It’s in the widgets.php file tho.
What decides whether something goes ‘before_title’ or after title? Where are those options located both in the db and in the files? Any ideas folks?
Thank you
Actually I guess the real question is by what method or system does WP remove the titles when choosing a “BLOCK” style for the widgets vs. leaving the title in for a POST or SIMPLE TEXT style?
Thanks

Errr… like I said, it should be defined by the function register_sidebar() or register_sidebars() located in functions.php on one hand, adding some tag before and after the title; and in widgets.php adding the the title itself on the other hand.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s handled in the db.
I just realize Artisteer is not a theme, but a theme generator. I’m gonna DL this in order to investigate a little more, as nobody else answers your question.
Also… blocks???? Sorry, really don’t understand what you’re talking about.
Regarding posts and pages, titles are managed differently compared to widgets ( -> within the Loop)
And could you link your functions.php code to pastebin ? Your theme might be prevented from displaying the tilte by a filter…
OK just installed Artisteer. Blocks seem to be Artisteer’s specific naming for widgets. xD Sorry ’bout that.
Another way would be to add a custom-text widget above all other widgets you want title on:
<h2 class="widget-title">Title of the widget</h2>
replace the class with the same one applied to “site search” in the screenshot you provided. Should do the trick meantime….
Within the files generated by Artisteer, don’t you have something like this in the file sidebar-default.php, or sidebar-secondary.php (…or whatever is yours) ?
<?php ob_start();?>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
<?php theme_wrapper($style, array('title' => __('Categories', THEME_NS), 'content' => ob_get_clean())); ?>
Here we can clearly see the title is passed to the function theme_wrapper() (and eventually translated). Maybe you modified this when tweaking your theme….
Don’t see options to hide title directly from the Artisteer application, although.
If it doesn’t solve your problem, you may consider asking directly to Artisteer forums, as you paid for this.
