Change (or reset) Meta (Admin) Widget

    I installed a registration plugin that altered the default Meta widget to include a Register option. I reset its features, deactivated the plugin (and deleted it, don’t remember the title) but it seems to have altered the Meta menu. I would like to remove the Register option from the Meta menu as I have installed another plugin that bypasses the WordPress register page. Any ideas on how to do that?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello @skipvia,

    I suggest hiding the Register link using CSS.
    Please add the following CSS code in the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS section of your WordPress Admin dashboard:

    
/* Hide first menu item (Register) in default Meta Widget */
.widget_meta > ul > li:nth-child(1) {
    display: none;
}

    Also, the Register link is part of the default Meta widget.

    Niall – Thank you for your quick reply. I added the suggested code but the Register link still appears as before. Do I need additional arguments for my site? (The computer was restarted, caches dumped.)

    You’re welcome!

    The formatting must have changed when the code was copy/pasted from WordPress:


    The HTML entity for > is showing on your site instead of the symbol >.

    Could you please try adding this code by to the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS section of your WordPress Admin dashboard:

    /* Hide first menu item (Register) in default Meta Widget */
.widget_meta li:nth-child(1) {
    display: none;
}

    Brilliant! Thanks, Niall. Problem solved. I’m in your debt.

    You’re welcome! Happy to help!

    In that case, I hope you can help someone else with a WordPress problem they’re having. ??

    Speaking of which, if your question has been answered, it would be great if you would mark this topic as resolved in the sidebar. This helps the forum’s volunteers find the topics that still need attention and more people will get helped, possibly like you did.
