    Hello,
    Could someone direct me to where we edit the sidebars lists in 2.x? I tried adding an item and updating in the admin wizard but I don’t see the changes reflected. When I view the source code or the home page of the blog, I see the code I would modify. However, I have searched and searched and cannot find that code in by folders.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    sidebar.php is the file you generally edit to make those changes.

    What do you mean “admin wizard”?

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    If I edit sidebar.php to include another listing, say, Calendar, and save and put that doc, I don’t see a change in the blog page…

    By admin wizard, I mean working in the WordPress Theme Editor. But, now I see that works. Just couldn’t understand why a raw edit of sidebar.php in Dreamweaver. I still can’t find which actual file got edited when I search the actual files. There are various sidebar.php files. One in admin and one each for each theme.
    Oh, it now looks like the Theme Editor edits the sidebar.php file in content/themes/default.

    Correct, the theme editor is purely for the files in the active theme. The admin one shouldn’t be edited unless you are familiar with such, and have a reason to edit the back end (Dashboard).
