Wordpress Help needed to edit widget

by ErnieB
6 replies
Probably simple fix but i just dont know enough to figure it out.

Im using the "Meta" plugin so people can register and login/out of my website. When a person is logged in, the link for "register" changes to "Site Admin". I dont want that link to appear. I also would like to get rid of the rss links that are there as well.

Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!

    You should be able to do this by editing the css.

    The site admin box should have an id set. Simply eidt the css to hide the box.

    #siteadmin {display:none}

    Ignore what Cash Money Hosting said, it's garbage and wrong.

    The problem you are going to run into is it's a core widget so you'd either have to edit the core wp files (not theme files) which you don't want to do, or, you can write a filter function to modify the meta widget. Now we are talking php and understanding a bunch of WP junk so that's probably out of the question as well.

    What I would do is find a more suitable login plugin.

    That is one I've used in the past but it's been a while so I don't remember what features it came with. I'm pretty sure you can hide the admin link and block non-admins from accessing your dashboard.

    There are several login plugins for this sort of thing so I'm sure you can find something that fits your needs.

    Something to keep in mind for the future - the site admin link only appears if you are logged in and you are the site admin, it doesn't appear for just anyone. Other users would see a different link, into their profile area.

    I did not know that.

    Thanks for the tip.
