Adding a widget to the sidebar in Wordpress

Adding a widget to the sidebar in Wordpress


There's no audio on this video yet. It's my first attempt at an online tutorial. I'll update it as soon as I learn more about adding audio either during recording or overlaying it later. This short video show's how to add a Text widget to the sidebar in Wordpress 2.8.4. A Text widget is used for custom code, like embedding a youtube video or other custom code or just plain text. Most wordpress themes are built with Sidebar widgets. They usually begin with a default list of Blogroll, Recent Posts, Categories and Meta Links (Wordpress links, etc.) As soon as you add one custom widget to the sidebar, the default items will go away (depending upon the theme). I'll be adding more tutorials later.

Add an Image with Hyperlink to Sidebar Widget in WordPress 3.0.1 or any version of WordPress

Add an Image with Hyperlink to Sidebar Widget in WordPress 3.0.1 or any version of WordPress


jupiterjimsmarketingteam.com Add an Image or "Clickable Image" to Sidebar Widget in WordPress 3.0.1 This technique should work with all versions of WordPress. If you don't want a "clickable" image with a hyperlink to another page or website, just delete the opening and and closing "anchor" HTML tags. You will still have the image in the sidebar widget, however, when you click on the image, it won't take you to any website or do anything at all. I use the WordPress Thesis Theme 1.8 in this video, however, you can use ANY theme for this technique. Hope this helps you. by Jupiter Jim at JupiterJim.com

WordPress Tutorial - How to Make a "Child" Page (Subpage) and How to Hide Sidebar Widget Link

WordPress Tutorial - How to Make a "Child" Page (Subpage) and How to Hide Sidebar Widget Link


This beginner-level WordPress tutorial shows 1. How to make a "child" page or subpage of another page (a "parent" page) using the WordPress 2.7 editing interface. And 2. How to hide a link in the Pages sidebar widget, in other words, how to keep a link to a page from showing in the Pages sidebar widget by putting the page ID number into the "Exclude" box in the Pages sidebar widget dialog box. Making "child" pages (subpages) is useful because you may not want all your pages to show in the main page navigation of your WordPress theme. In most themes, only "main" pages (pages that don't have a "parent") show up in the main page navigation. In some newer WordPress themes, child pages show up in a popup menu that appears when you roll over the main page link. And in some themes, sub-subpages show up in popup menus as well. These are sometimes called "cascading" navigation menus: sub-subpages show up in a popup menu when you roll over a subpage link. The second part of this tutorial shows how to hide (or "exclude") a link to a page that would otherwise appear in the links of the Pages sidebar widget. This is useful for a number of reasons. One is that when you make a static page your Home page in WordPress, some themes will show the link to this static page as a second home page link in your main navigation. By making the Home page a subpage and excluding that link from the Pages sidebar navigation, you can eliminate the double Home page link.
