how to format sidebar bookmarks WP 2.1

  • I’m trying to find a way to format bookmarks (links) in the sidebar in the following way: I don’t want the category name, or the LI bullet/widget to appear. I also want to adjust the margin on the image I’m using with each link, so they aren’t indented like other list items. My goal is to create a nice list of image-based links (like call-outs) that can be controlled through the wp-admin. Is there possibly a plug-in for this? I had a hack figured out in 2.0, but after I upgraded, now I’m lost…

  • This can be achieved with CSS. Do you have a link to the actual page so I can see the layout?

    thanks!

    If you add the following to your stylesheet you should be set:

    .linkcat h2 {
    display: none;
}

#sidebar ul li.linkcat ul li:before {
	content: "";
}

    Brilliant! Thanks so much for your help. The only thing left for me to figure out is how to adjust the margin on the link itself (so it is centered in the sidebar). I can see that you’re able to specify li.linkcat in the css; how would I specify the link itself?

    If you’re talking about referencing the anchor tag, that would be:

    #sidebar ul li.linkcat ul li a {
...
}

    Ahh. I should have been able to figure that out. Thanks for the help. Problem solved!!

    Thanks for this! I wanted to remove the “>>” from in front of not just the bookmarks, but also the categories and archives. This CSS did all three for me:

    #sidebar ul li.linkcat ul li:before {
	content: "";
}

#sidebar ul li.categories ul li:before {
	content: "";
}

#sidebar ul li ul li:before {
	content: "";
}
