I can’t remove or edit links… not showing up in wp-admin panel.

  • Hello, I am new to Word Press. I have just set-up a blog using the Flex theme.

    I am having a problem. Two links have shown up automatically, and do not show up in the wp-admin panel so I cannot remove or edit them. One is the HOME link, which just set-up automatically… and set itself to the wrong address. I would like to edit this.

    Also the is an RSS link that showed up automatically. I don’t even know what this is used for. Do I even need it? What is the purpose of it?

    Why are these two links not showing up in my wp-admin panel where I manage the blog? Can anyone tell me how to edit these links?

    Thanks,
    smiggles

    WHOOPS! Here is the link to my site: https://migginsstudioarts.com/myblog/

    I assume you have to edit the sidebar.php in your theme.
    The “Home” could be useful though, it just seems to have some code that adds the blog_name tag, too.
    The RSS (Really Simple Syndication? or something like that ?? is a syndication tool. You can learn more through the link or here in the Codex.

    Thank you moshu! I have located the offending code in sidebar.php, but I haven’t the faintest idea what to do with it other than knowing I have to change something in the “a href” area. Have any suggestions?

    .<li class=”sidebullet”>
    “>Home

    P.S. Thank you also for the RSS info. (This is all new to me.) Is it such a good idea to leave the RSS link open to the public?

    WHOOPS! The code did not print… hmm let me try this…

    \<li class=”sidebullet”>
    “>Home
    \

    That didn’t work either… how about this…

    /<li class=”sidebullet”>
    “>Home
    /

    Look below the text area where you write your posts here in the forum: you’ll see the backticks used around any piece of code to make them visible ??

    Don’t worry about the RSS. That’s the purpose – to have it available for the “hungry” public that wants to feed your blog’s info into their site, desktop etc.

    <li class="sidebullet">
    <a href="<?php bloginfo('blog_url'); ?>">Home</a></li>

    …. OKAY

    I can already see that the blog url seems to be automatically determined by and put into the ('blog_url') code. Hmmmm. Wonder how I change it to me real address?

    blog_url is fine – it should show exactly what is says: the URI of your blog, i.e. https://migginsstudioarts.com/myblog/
    I am wondering why does it have the blog title at the end SMIGGLES…
    Did you put that “blog_name” anywhere it isn’t supposed to be? ??

    In your WordPress admin, go to Options > General Options, and look at the settings for WordPress Address and Blog Address. One of those settings probably has that extra smiggles at the end. Change that and you should be golden.

    Both the Word Press and the Blog address are set at: https://migginsstudioarts.com/myblog ….. no extra smiggles in either

    brainwidth was faster ?? – that was supposed to be my next suggestion.
    Now I am clueless. It’s weird, rally.

    I may have to just set up a blank index in an extra smiggles folder with a redirect… but that isn’t really solving the problem. I still don’t know why that extra smiggle is being added to the address in that link.

    moshu.. I haven;t added that “blog_name” anywhere else. I haven’t touched the the sidebar.php until you suggested that I look at it.
