Theme’s sidebar not up-to-date in comments view

  • Hello. Thanks for the help with the Typepad migration. Next problem: I’m using the Serinity theme by DL2 Media, which I have hacked and modified quite a bit — primarily just for looks (link backgrounds, column width, header image, etc.).

    I’m in the process of adding links to the sidebar. It works just fine in the normal view, but when you look at comments, only some of the sidebar links come in. To be precise, none of my blogroll links come in. However, the pre-defined ones show up — archives and categories — as well as the ones I’ve hard-coded into the sidebar.php file.

    But why aren’t my blogroll links coming in? (Note that I’m using custom names for the link categories — not “Blogroll”).

    Any ideas?

    FWIW, here’s the PHP code in the sidebar.php file that deals with this stuff:

    • <h2>Categories</h2>
      <?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0’); ?>

    <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>

  • Take a second look at this one:
    <?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() || is_page() ) { ?>
    <?php get_links_list(); ?>

    It is a conditional tag telling your browser NOT to display the links list IF it is another page than home or a Page… (BTW, the code has an ending tag somewhere, too!)
    Remove the conditional and you’ll be fine.

    Thanks, Moshu.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know PHP at all, so I don’t know what a closing tag looks like. right under the bits you describe above is the Meta section, then under that is this:

    <?php } ?>

    But if I remove that, and the condition, does that leave the Meta section “untagged” so to speak?

    Update: I tried removing the condition, with and without removing that thing I think is the end tag. In both cases it did NOT work. ??
