editing sidebar.php for links call

    Hi all,

    I’ve tried adding code, removing code, moving code. But I know I don’t know enough and I am not getting what I want. I want to have my links appear on every page’s sidebar. I have found the “if page is home” but simply removing that and even adding

      doesn’t do the trick. At best it leaves a scrunched set of out of order links under the “Categories” heading (with extra >> thrown in above the links). At worst, (without the
      etc) I get an error parsing message and the home page doesn’t load.

    Obviously I don’t know this code well enough. Can someone help?

    Thank you!

    If you have single.php, archive.php, page.php, etc, call the following to get the sidebar.

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    Basically, copy what index.php has.

    Ah, so you mean I put that call into each of them individually rather than try to just get the links called via the sidebar itself? But I don’t understand. If the sidebar only brings up links on the front page, how does calling the sidebar get links onto all pages.

    I think I am becoming more and more confused, but I’ll try that.

    Thank you.

    Wait a second. I was most likely wrong. Paste your original sidebar.php here: http://pastebin.com

    I tried alphoide’s suggestion. It didn’t work. I clicked on one of the posts and when it came up it did not show my links. I don’t have single.php, by the way.

    Any other thoughts? Thanks!

    Sorry about that. I have never used a collaborative debugger before!

    Erm… now I’m getting a “Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/vener/public_html/beadblog/wp-content/themes/vener-art/sidebar.php on line 52”

    That’s odd because the only thing on line 52 is and it comes before the stuff I deleted!

    Got it! I found something that had been accidently deleted! Thanks alphaoide! Now I can go to bed and work on this some more on later! You’re terrific! Thanks again!
