    Hi All,

    I’m not new to web design, but I’m new to WordPress and PHP. I just had a website design done for my business(http://www.clickright.ca) I can modify the pages no problem, but I’m having trouble with the right widgets (at least I think they are widgets!)

    After really looking around, I found out that I could edit them on the Themes > Editor page. They are listed under Templates with file names “Page-##.php” (which is not very descriptive.)

    Can someone please explain to me how I can chose what is displayed in each of these widgets, and how I can modify the name to something other than “page-## so I can actually tell what page they are from?

    Thanks!

    if they are widgets in the right sidebar (as you should assume with a newly made theme) then you should be able to find them under ‘admin’ ‘appearance’ ‘widgets’.
    if not – you might need to edit the file for the right sidebar – could be sidebar.php.

    i would not assume that the page-##.php files have anything to do with it.

    Thanks alchymyth.

    The only widget I see under Admin > Appearance > Widgets is the Testimonials Widget. As there appears to be different widgets for each page, I don’t know how come it’s only listing the one.

    The page-##.php files contain the content for the right sidebar for all of the pages. When I edit these on the FTP server, I can make the changes I need, but I never know what file is the right one until I search thorough then (because of the name)

    Is there any way to fix this or rename the page-##.php files?

    if you go into the dashboard/admin – pages – edit page: then you should be able to see the template that is used for the page where you want to change the widgets – somewhere to the right a bit lower (if you haven’t re-arranged your dashboard)

    Hmm, that option is here, but it says “Default Template” for every page. The more I look into this, the more confused I get.
