Wordpress Help needed to edit widget

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}

    • Thanks but I was unable to find any reference in the css ( template css )
  • 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.

    WordPress › Theme My Login « WordPress Plugins

    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.

    • Awesome, Thanks a ton for the info. Worked great!
  • 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.
