You do that by deleting the line of code for the image in your template file, Mellojoe. I’m not sure why anyone would want to do this, since it’s a good visual reference for knowing exactly where the feed is on a site.
When I use the WordPress Widget thingy and pull in an RSS feed from outside, where does that code go?
I am using a similar template to the default theme. Which file holds that code?
Just in case anybody else wanted to see this:
Go to WP-INCLUDES folder.
Find file WIDGETS.PHP
Open and Edit. You are looking for this line of code under the function wp_widget_rss:
<a class='rsswidget' href='$url' title='" . attribute_escape(__('Syndicate this content')) ."'><img style='background:orange;color:white;border:none;' width='14' height='14' src='$icon' alt='RSS' /></a>
The image is the RSS.PNG file and it is stored in WP-INCLUDES/IMAGES. You can edit the code to replace the icon with one unique to your own, or just change the color, or whatever you need to do.
It is a simple way to edit the PHP to make it more unique to your own tastes.
The only issue with the solution above is that when you upgrade your WordPress core file, you have to remember to go back and do this again.
In my opinion a better solution would be to add:
a.rsswidget img {display: none !important;}
to your themes CSS file.
I have tested this to work in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox and Safari.
right now i have this formatting problem where the rss icon is on one line and the rss feed title is on a second line. i want both on the same line. what would be a simple css for this?
