Why is Wordpress Putting Links In Our Source Code?

Hey Guys,

I just noticed that wordpress automatically puts links within your source code ===>

<li id="wp-admin-bar-wporg"><a class="ab-item" href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress.org</a> </li>
<li id="wp-admin-bar-documentation"><a class="ab-item" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/">Documentation</a> </li>
<li id="wp-admin-bar-support-forums"><a class="ab-item" href="http://wordpress.org/support/">Support Forums</a> </li>
<li id="wp-admin-bar-feedback"><a class="ab-item" href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback">Feedback</a> </li>

I'm assuming that's by what's in the /wp-admin/ dashboard like "Other Wordpress News" and "Wordpress Blog" ....

...I tried deleting these off the wordpress dashboard but couldn't. Is their a way to delete these? Or is this a bad idea? I'm assuming this has got to hurt our SEO, right?

if anyone can share their ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

In Many thanks,
Kyle

  • It looks like links inside your admin panel. Why would you want to get rid of them?
  • Because you're using their software for completely free...
  • there is a security plugin which helps you to delete these lines.

    sorry but i can not remember the name

    Did you try logging out from your own WP and take a second look at your source code?

    What you have pasted above is the code of that "black" admin bar at the top that you see while logged in. What is not to understand there?

    • Thanks Istvan,

      You are right! And if I never asked stupid questions, then I would never learn, and never understand.... but now I understand.

      Thanks once again
