Customize sidebar

  • I’m using a theme I found a few weeks ago that is not listed on wp.org and everything is perfect other than the sidebar so I don’t want to change themes. The problem is that half the sidebar is great – contains three big links which is exactly what I need. However the latter part of the sidebar is one that only displays info upon clicking (i.e. there is a news link and only if clicked does the news info show). I want my sidebar (below the big links) to look exactly like the default sidebar. I’ve tried doing some basic copying and pasting but I don’t know exactly what files I need transferred over from the Default theme in order for this to function properly; I’m receiving an ERROR message using Firefox. PLEASE HELP!

  • You can’t just copy over template files from the default theme to your theme and expect them to work. The sidebar on your theme needs to be edited.

    I tried just deleting the part I didn’t want in the sidebar. Then copying the part from the Default sidebar I did want into my themes sidebar. That didn’t work. I didn’t transfer any files. I just thought I had to in order to make it work – which is why I’m here asking you guys.
