If I am understanding the problem correctly: you want to show hard coded items in your sidebar.php i.e. Archives, Categories and etc. as well as widgets.

IF that is the case, I too found that the sidebar looked fine with just my hardcoded entries but when I added any widget like the calendar, recent post and etc, it looked bad. It wasn’t removed but it looked bad.

I was able to correct the problem by modifying the style.css and element settings around the widgets function in the sidebar.php.

If that is not the problem, then what MichaelH stated is the best help. Reading those articles helped me.

Hi,

Thank you for your vote of confidence and your feedback. I’ll definitely take the yellow bars into consideration. ??

Take care

Well… yeah… I thought that was understood. ??

I thought the question was how to actually put the titles in the pages (like Recent Posts) not just you can display post. My misunderstanding.

It is mostly likey done with some creative CSS styling and the “Recent Posts” widget.

As far as the 2nd link you mentioned, that looks like just the standard archive.php (and creative styling again).
