help with sidebar

Thank you for the reply. I suddenly had the idea to search the theme upload folder I have on my computer and I found “top articles” in the style css file.

Supposedly the “top articles” are the most recent articles in the past 2 weeks that have the most comments. In style.css I see featured/top articles but that is super confusing because there are two categories – featured and top articles (two different set of links).

So I am still confused. I know that the css is talking about the “featured” part because there is stuff about images. As you can see the top articles have no images.

So confused right now.

/************************************************************\
* Featured / Top Articles
\************************************************************/
	.ftop {padding:10px;}
	.ftop .featured {float:left;width:630px;position:relative;}
	.ftop .featured .fwrap {width:630px;height:280px;overflow:hidden;position:relative;}
	.ftop .featured ul {width:100000px;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;}
	.ftop .featured li {list-style:none;float:left;width:630px;}
	.ftop .featured li img {vertical-align:middle;display:block;width:630px;height:230px;overflow:hidden;}
	.ftop .featured li div {margin-top:1px;padding:5px;}
	.ftop .featured li div a {font-weight:bold;}
	.ftop .featured li div a.title {font-size:18px;font-weight:bold;}

	.ftop .featured .fthumbs {position:absolute;top:10px;left:10px;z-index:8;height:215px;overflow:hidden;}
	.ftop .featured .fthumbs img {border:2px solid #333;vertical-align:middle;margin-bottom:5px;width:62px;height:34px;display:block;}
	.ftop .featured .fthumbs img.active {border:2px solid #fff;}

	.ftop .featured a {outline:none;}

	.ftop .top {float:right;width:300px;}
	.ftop .top li {padding:10px 0;list-style:none;}
	.ftop .top li a {font-weight:bold;}
	.ftop .top li span {display:block;font-size:11px;height:14px;overflow:hidden;}
	.ftop .top li span a.comments {float:right;}

So how does it even know which posts to put in that box? I didn’t make a “top articles” category.

Okay, so I finally found something. It was in the header php

<div class="top">
					<span class="heading1"><span>Top Articles</span></span>
					<ul>
					<?php
                                        $kt=time()-1209600;
						$sql = "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date_gmt > FROM_UNIXTIME(".$kt.") AND post_type = 'post' 	ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 5";
						$top_posts = $wpdb->get_results($sql);

						foreach ($top_posts as $post)  :
							?>
							<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><span><a class="comments" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>#comments"><?php echo $post->comment_count; ?> Comments</a>Posted Under: <?php the_category(', '); ?></span></li>
                                                        <?php
						endforeach;
					?>
					</ul>
				</div>

Is there a way to make it show more posts? I tried modifying the “$kt=time()-1209600” value but it made the post disappear (but the box is still there)
