thanks that definitely helps… i’m a little new at this, do you think you could give me a bit more help finding Where that is exactly so i can edit the code?
do i have to get a plugin first?
You can add the code to a plugin yourself. You can download a plugin boilerplate resource here that you can add the code to: https://github.com/tommcfarlin/WordPress-Widget-Boilerplate
Somebody may also comment saying you can add the code to your functions.php file in your theme and it will give you the same outcome, however if you decide to change your theme at a later stage you will lose your changes if you forget where you put them so it would be easier to make these changes in a plugin which you can use across themes and know where you can find it.
