 * Is there a way to remove the link, or preferably change the link, in the RSS 
   widget for the sidebar? I’ve seen a couple posts, but none posted a resolution.
 * Thanks!

 * you could use CSS to change it do display:none

 * That would properly hide the title. While I will do that if it comes down to 
   it, I’d ideally like to be able to change the link to a link of my choosing. 
   Is there a patch, or a new version, or a way to manually hack in the URL I want?
 * Thank you for your comment.

 * you can use CSS to just hide the link but keep the title (just add an ‘A’ selector
   on the end)
 * you can edit the widget code, or if you are up to the PHP-ness of writing WP 
   filters, you can use a plugin of mine (widget logic) that provides a ‘widget_content’
   filter. it’s how i prefer to tinker with widget presentation, but it does mean
   writing PHP in your theme’s functions.php

 * Alright, thanks. I’ll give this a shot and let you know how it turns out 🙂

 * I got it resolved.
 * wp-includes/widgets.php Line 1084 (in the function wp_widget_rss)
 * Replace
    `$title = "<a class='rsswidget' href='$url' title='" . attribute_escape(
   __('Syndicate this content')) ."'><img style='background:orange;color:white;border:
   none;' width='14' height='14' src='$icon' alt='RSS' /></a> <a class='rsswidget'
   href='$link' title='$desc'>$title</a>";` with `$title = "<a class='rsswidget'
   href='$url' title='" . attribute_escape(__('Syndicate this content')) ."'><img
   style='background:orange;color:white;border:none;' width='14' height='14' src
   ='$icon' alt='RSS' />&nbsp;$title</a>";`
 * Works just fine now 🙂
 * Thanks for the help.

 * Superwad- I appreciate you coming back to post your solution, I think most don’t.
   You just saved me several hours of headache hunting down which template to alter
   for my RSS title. Again, thank you.

 * There was a page I found a few months ago that showed exactly how to style this
   with CSS. If you use the above widgets.php fix, it’ll erase next time you update
   WordPress with the current version. You’d have to remember to patch that file
   each time. There proper way would be to use CSS and put in your active theme 
   style.php file. I’ll try to find the page and update the thread if I find it.
