Removing all the junk

Specifically, if you add:

height: 200px

to the ‘Logo Area: Styling’ option within the Atahualpa Options, that will give you more logo room. Change the 200px to however much you want.

When I saved the changes this is what resulted:

#WIDGET ENDS HERE. echo $after_widget; } ?>
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\customize-meta-widget\customize-meta-widget.php:46) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\atahualpa\functions\bfa_ata_add_admin.php on line 44

OK, you have to be really careful of spaces. Make sure there are no spaces after the closing ?> tag in the plugin editor screen.

Also, the < ul > problem you were having was my fault – the code display on this forum was breaking it. I’ve corrected it, so if you copy out the code as displayed above and paste it in the plugin editor (with NO space at the end of the last ?> tag, then hopefully you should be OK.

OK Regarding the Meta problem, I went in to the actual file and removed two line of code and that cured it.

I uploaded WordPress to the server last nite and everything looks good except I still have a “blogroll” and “Recent Posts on the right side over the login. and “Meta” still displays and I want it to say “Log In”.

I disabled the left sidebar so nothing shows over there now. I really appreciate your help me like this!

Hmmm. That’s odd. Could you go into the plugin code editor for the ‘Customize Meta Data’ on your site and copy out the entire entry, then paste it here:

https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/

Nice one,

Si

Well I haven’t uploaded the custom meta plugin yet I was saving that till last. here is the site url now. here is the site URL:

https://horses-rock.3ryd.com/

I’d like to get rid of everything on the right except the mets and I’d like to change that to “Log In”

I’m going to change the background of the logo from a gradient to a solid green.

Thanks

OK. Well, that’s why it’s still showing all those links. That plugin is what got rid of them all for you. Go install it and then select it within the plugin editor. Plugins -> editor.

Select ‘Customize Meta Widget’ from the dropdown list in the top right. It will load up the code.

Select all of the code within the plugin editor and delete it.

Go to the following site

https://wordpress.pastebin.com/m2d768905

and copy the code from the bottom textarea (so you don’t get the line numbers) and paste it into the plugin editor (making sure there is no space after the closing ?>).

Hit save. Should work.

I’ve written it so that you only get the login and the Meta is renamed to Login. I’ve tested it and it works just fine.

As for the blogroll and recent posts, you need to go into your widgets, drag the meta widget into the ‘right hand sidebar’ and then those other two will disappear.

Thanks. It didn’t get rid of “Blogroll” or “Recent Posts” though. I didn’t have those before when it was on my computer but I don’t remember what I did to get rid of them.

I also don’t understand that widgets area. According to that is nothing in the sidebar but they still show up on the front page.

Yeah, there’s nothing in your Widget sidebars but there needs to be. At the moment it’s loading up non-widget defaults.

Drag the Meta sidebar widget into your Right Hand Sidebar space and you’ll be all set.

This what Is on the right sidebar:

I want to get rid of Recent Post and everything under it.
I want to get rid of Blogroll and eveything under it.
I want to change the name of “Meta to “Log In”

Somehow in the admin area “Widgets”, something is not working right. For one thing all I see is “Meta” there and there is no “Custom Meta”

I did drag the “Meta” over to to the right sidebar anyway although the frontpage showed one anyway.

Also I think my logo image is rotating but I think I can change that in the theme ptions
Thanks,
Paul

oops, I dont know how this got in my post. it is in the midle under the logo:

Ignore that

OK Whew! I don’t realyl know what was happening probably GiGo! Every thing is working right now. The blog stuff and recent post and all that. I think what was happening was the defaults, like you said. Thank you very much for helping me.
Paul

Hmmm. That’s odd. If you dragged the widget in to the Right Sidebar widget box within Widgets, it should get rid of all those other menu options. It should look like this:

As for renaming the login, did you install the plugin as I told you above? Here’s a shot of my site set up using the instructions I left:

https://wordpress.simonfairbairn.com/login.jpg

Just to prove that it does work. Go back and check my instructions about setting up the plugin.

Yay!

Well done! We finally got there!

You’re very welcome – enjoy your new WordPress blog!

Si

Oops! I guess I spoke to soon!

Even though I left unchecked, the box “Anyone can comment, it doesn’t work it lets anyone comment! Also there is link to register. Was that part of meta that I deleted?
Thanks,
Paul
