In reply to: [PlugIn AMR USER} Broken Links and Random Data Since WP UpdateI fixed it. Turns out that somehow during the update, whether it be a problem with WP 3.6, or conflict with other plug-in, it had added an extra set of quotes to the email and URL fields. Also added the long string of fives inside some FONT carats in a field. Very weird. Corrected them and all is good.

In reply to: Change How Links OperateSorry for the delay. I really appreciate the time you have spent on this. As it turns out, the designers created a custom theme, and don’t have any of the widgets in it that were used to build it. At any rate, I find that to remove the code entirely, and just start with a new sidebar is the easiest, and gets me to my ultimate objective, which was to change the load time of the pages. I couldn’t have even figured out how to dump the old code if it wasn’t for you, so I am very grateful. Thank you very much.

In reply to: Change How Links OperateI really appreciate your insight and assistance. In the research that I have done, it looks like the did use some sort of Widget API to create the Articles area, and then took the widget out. I suspect for the reasons you state.
Anyway, I looked at the “sidebar.php” and it didn’t look like this held the parameters I was looking for. I then looked at “sidebar-right.php” and (in part) I see the below.
“<div class=”width03”>
<h4>Articles</h4>
<div id=”rigthAreaInner”>-
<?php
$link = get_permalink();
$title = the_title(“”,””,FALSE);simple_popup_link($link,$title);
?>
- “;
simple_popup_link($link,$title);
echo “
<?php $the_query = new wp_query(‘category_name=Articles&posts_per_page=5’);
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?><?php endwhile;
$my_query = new WP_Query( ‘post_type=custom_articles’ );
while ( $my_query->have_posts() ) : $my_query->the_post();
$link = get_permalink();
$title = the_title(“”,””,FALSE);
echo ”“;
endwhile;?>
</div>
</div>”I see the “simple_popup_link($link,$title);” that you referred to previously, but I can’t see anywhere that it gets the link and title info from. I guess that would be in the widget that they have removed, but i would think it would still have to be getting the info from somewhere. In my Dashboard, I have a tab titled Articles where I can see the articles and I can add articles or delete them, so clearly, there must be a mechanism in there somewhere that would allow me to change their action on click, but I can’t find it anywhere.
Having said all of that, I have discovered how to make an identical new field area that looks exactly like the Articles one for the website, and I have figured out how to set that up to do what I want. I have also found the code for the original Articles box (the one I am complaining about), so I can just delete it from the “sidebar-right.php” file and it is gone. Then I will just insert my new Articles box. Does that sound like it makes sense, or am I making things more difficult than I need?
Thank you again for your time and guidance.

In reply to: Change How Links OperateHere is the weird part. When you look at the page itself, you see what should show up in WP as Sidebars with categories of Articles, Upcoming Events, and Rulings.
When you go into the area that you pointed out, I can see the Sidebar, but the only thing listed in it is the Upcoming Events category. Nothing else. How can these be showing on my web page when there is nothing showing up in the theme? Heck I can’t even find where to delete the boxes and redo them fresh!
I can see each Article in an Article tab on the left column directly under the Dashboard button, but when I go into those, I can’t seem to change the behavior. I change the linking to your recommendation, but they still open up extremely slowly from the pop up.

In reply to: Edit Pages Box Does Not Show Data in WP 3.5It should be at the root of your website. If it is not there, try recovering it from a backup.
