Side Bar Meta

  • Hi

    You guys have been super patient. I keep searching but don’t find what I want.

    I’m using the default template. ON the side (side bar) there are listings like Login, Valid XHTML, WordPress, etc.

    Found those in the Sidebar template. However, there is also a listing that says Register on the my sidebar but can’t find it in the sidebar template. I want to change this wording to “Register and Submit Article” without the quotes so visitors know they can submit articles to my blog.

    Where can I change the Word “Register” so it displays on the sidebar as “Register and Submit Article”. (note: also if there is a better way of doing this, please let me know).

    thanks again for your support.
    Steve

  • The word “Register” is actually put there by the wp_register() function.

    If you want to change the wording, you’ll have to edit the template-functions-general.php file in the wp-includes folder.

    First, make sure you have a backup of the file in case something goes wrong.

    Then, look for this line (it’s line 46 in mine, but I have done some other edits, so it may vary)

    $link = $before . '<a href="' . get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-register.php">' . __('Register') . '</a>' . $after;

    Change ‘Register’ to whatever you want it to be, save the file and upload it.
