Wordpress 2.8 remove links on right side?

Ian25 · 10-02-2009, 05:51 PM

I have a new wordpress 2.8 blog installed.
But I am newbie to wordpress.
I want remove the links down the right hand side-the links that say "pages" "archives" "blogroll "meta" etc.

Can they be deleted or moved further down the page?
At the moment I have a banner at the top of my wordpress page but it looks messy with all those links encroaching over it.

thanks in advance

Hi Ian

Yes they can be removed by editing the sidebar file in the theme you are using - usually this file will be named sidebar.php.

Your sidebar items will appear as being within an unordered list ( i.e. between a "<u>" and "</ul>" tag set). Each menu item is a list item, or "<li>".

Just edit out the ones you want.

If you need any help with this please let me know.
