Thought I’d try a general approach. Does anyone have some instructions on how to put the admin online in the side bar – for those of us who are not strict coders? I’m beginning to wonder if it’s top secret info or something. 😉
You know, for those of us who are attempting to get something done for someone else by a deadline and don’t have time to go to PHP school and get a degree…just a down and dirty how to method?
Thanks!
I am afraid it really depends on how the theme is constructed. Would need to see the code to the sidebar in question.
normally you would edit the sidebar.php but that is very theme dependent (as Andy says) and enter the template tag…
alternatively, if you have a text widget plugin that supports php code in the text widget (ie exec php) you could add the template tag that way…
Yep, that’s ultimately what I had to do – installed a text php plugin and added it a sidebar box. Works fine. not sure how to space it a little more so the links aren’t as close but it’s not a big deal…just preference.
Thanks for the assist on the forum issue. Saved the day.
You would need to provide your own CSS styling. Template tags like this will use the WP theme styling although we provide extensive classes so you can modify the end result as desired.
