Widget.php - how do i change wordpress sidebar title?

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by fashionreview, Oct 3, 2007.

    i have wordpress blogging and need to change a header on my left menu bar. I know it has something to do with altering the widgets.php but am unsure as to which section i need to change. I have read up on wordpress on changing titles of headers in sidebars (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/124725) but am still confused as to what i am meant to do. If you look at my website fashionreview.com.au , i am trying to change the heading "Blogroll" to something else.

    Additionally, within the widgets section of wordpress admin, there is no icon for "links" to be changed to another name, thus i must do it altering the code.


    anyhelp is greater appreciated. thanks

    Look for a file called sidebar.php in your theme directory. Open it and search for "Blogroll". Change and save.

    thanks for the reply, but i have already done that. However, when i change the side bar php, it cannot be updated automatically as at the moment, it runs a dynamic script meaning that any changes made using wordpress admin, will automatically be reflected on the webpage.

    If i change the sidebar php, i lose the script, meaning that any changes i make in the wordpress admin for the sidebar wont be updated. Therefore i need to change the widgets php that controls the sidebar script but i dont know where to change the blogroll title!
