Changing Wordpress themes

Hi

Does changing the wordpress themes keep settings e.g. links, options etc?

Where would I put a stat counter? index.php?

Thanks
Ivan

 

Yes, the links are kept, and if there is a footer.php you might want to put the counter there.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Is there a footer for every theme? So if i changed theme I would have to the counter in the new footer every time?

 

Regardless of if there is a footer or not, you will always need to add your counter code to a new theme, unless you are doing so via a plugin or progamatically.

 

No.

sidebar.php OR footer.php would be good.

 

ok thanks for replys

 

It all depends on how you've coded your current theme. If anything is hard coded into the php files, they will disappear when you change themes

 

there is no change at all if you change the wordpress theme.
stat counter put in the footer.php

 

you'll lost everything you put directly in the sidebar or template
