I need code to stay on everypage! and other things

the files you need to edit are in your theme. look in wordpress/wp-content/themes/default (or change default to whatever theme you are using).

bump

why not just alter the code of the footer.php and header.hph files?

… this will work for you and get you the results you are looking for …

if you need help, here is my contact infor:

bradhuss at hyperactive-media dot com

If you want something to show up on the top of every page, edit header.php.

Bottom of page, edit footer.php

Meta can be found in the header file as well.

Meta can be found in the header file as well.

Hm. I think OP was asking about the Meta section in the sidebar.php.
So, freshprince, open the sidebar.php file of your theme and edit/delete whatever you need.

hyperactive – why must someone email you for help, when that’s what the forums are here for? why do you keep trying to take things to a private discussion?? every post you have is offering “private” help – and it’s incredibly annoying to people who might want the same question answered, but it’s not HERE on the forums, because YOU wanted to take it “private” for whatever reason… the forums are not here for you to “network” yourself or your business, please stop.

ladydelaluna … email works better for me than the forums … i don’t always have ready access ot the forums … i am just offering it out there so they have direct contact to me and i will work with them individually …

maybe i do not want everything that we discuss to be published here on the forum …. take for instance .. marigotvillage.com (there was certain private information like his FTP username and password that he had to give to me to help him out that could not have been passed along to me expect by email).. i was able to help him via email and IM when he contacted me to get his WP up and running …

so maybe, you need to think before you post your ignorance.

MOSHU has already contacted me about “my services” – from a previous post – but as you can see … I am offering myself for FREE … but i desire to be contacted by email … it works for me.

Let’s not hijack the OP, can we, please?

Sometimes individual help is better suited, I agree. I have also done that with installing, for example. It’s true, after I have spent about a year in the forum, so people knew who I am…
For a simple code modification issue I don’t think “private” help is needed and, as Lady mentioned, keeping the answers in the forum will benefit future users and seekers.
If you cannot offer help through the forum – don’t post. It is that simple.

“so maybe, you need to think before you post your ignorance.”

IGNORANCE?! don’t even get me started.

thank you, moshu.

“I want to put an ad on top of every page, including the main page, archives, etc etc (My server bills are getting expensive)”

open up “index.php” and insert the code just after where your sidebar/s are being called in.

“Again on the bottom of the page I want to include (C) 2006 (MY SITE NAME), I want this to be constant and appear on every page too”

open up “footer.php” and insert that information (and anything else you want) in between the “div” tags (where the current text is)

“Also I signed up for extreme tracking and I want to keep track of my page hits, I want this code to be constant on my page too.”

try putting the code for that in the footer as well – it will track every page then.

“Also I want a sidebar on the left hand as well, I want to post pictures and when people click on it, it send them to their weblogs”

that might be a little more difficult for a novice like yourself – might be best to find a theme that has the sidebar on the left already. and you’ll need to use HTML in the sidebar.php file to accomplish what you’re looking to do with your links.

“I want to get rid of the meta and its things in the menu, how can I do this?”

again, open up the sidebar.php file and find what you’re looking for and remove it… it’ll most likely be in one tightly packed “section”.

))))) All this said, theme modifications DO require some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and how themes work. If you’re not up for that challenge, it might be best for you to find a theme you can use “as is”. (((((

-I want to put an ad on top of every page, including the main page, archives, etc etc (My server bills are getting expensive)

edit header.php in your theme. after the body block is opened, you can insert a DIV block for a leaderboard ad space… put whatever you want (adsense, etc.).

-Again on the bottom of the page I want to include (C) 2006 (MY SITE NAME), I want this to be constant and appear on every page too

footer.php usually controls this. But in some instances, it’s at the bottom of index.php, inside the main content block.

-Also I signed up for extreme tracking and I want to keep track of my page hits, I want this code to be constant on my page too.

footer.php or sidebar.php could include that.

-Also I want a sidebar on the left hand as well, I want to post pictures and when people click on it, it send them to their weblogs

then you need to either heavily mod your theme, or start with a theme that has a left sidebar already.

(note that index.php is NOT always the core page, as depending on the theme you could have custom code running archives, single pages, etc…)

umm… okay then.
