This would be best dealt with using CSS and maybe a little theme editing. Is that something you’re familiar with?
Yes – I can edit the css and theme – what do I need to edit?? I’m a novice at php but pretty proficient in css.
What do you currently have in sidebar.php?
Well, I am using widgets, so edits in sidebar.php don’t seem to be taking as they normally would – I am not sure how it all fits together though. I have done some edits to wp-includes/widgets.php.
Relevant code in sidebar.php is:
<h4>Links</h4>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=0&categorize=0'); ?>
</ul>
In widgets.php, I have:
* Display links widget.
*
* @since 2.2.0
*
* @param array $args Widget arguments.
*/
function wp_widget_links($args) {
extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
$before_widget = preg_replace('/id="[^"]*"/','id="%id"', $before_widget);
wp_list_bookmarks(apply_filters('widget_links_args', array(
'title_before' => $before_title, 'title_after' => $after_title,
'category_before' => $before_widget, 'category_after' => $after_widget,
'show_images' => true, 'class' => 'linkcat widget'
)));
}
I appreciate your help…
I’d suggest making changes to sidebar.php and staying away from hacking the core files. What widgets do you have installed in your sidebar according to Admin/Appearance/Widgets?
I only added a couple of links hard coded in to widgets.php. Nothing spectacular 🙂
Widgets I have are:
Pages,
RSS,
Recent Posts,
Search,
Categories,
Tags,
Links
One thing I noticed is that it’s saying Left sidebar, when you can clearly see it’s displying on the right!
I wouldn’t worry about it’s positioning. That’s obviously been changed at some time in the theme’s development and the sidebar’s name hasn’t been amended. However, I can’t seem to get to your site using the url above right now.
try removing the period 🙂 It added the period on the a for some reason.
You need to take the Links widget out of the sidebar then, in sidebar.php, move:
<h4>Links</h4>
<ul><?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=0&categorize=0'); ?>
</ul>
so that it is after
<?php endif; ?>
Still not working 🙁
The links show up, but not the actual text, only the image. Got any other suggestions?
OK – I found a plugin that customizes the blogroll. Works now. Thanks for your help 🙂
