anybody?

oh, I see a hand up in the back row… yes Abraham, what do you got?

well, CSS edits aren’t going to cut it because they only allow you to remove meta data globally, not selectively, because there’s no differentiation targeting individual categories in the CSS.

but…you can modify the functions.php in your child theme folder with:

/* Unregister unused widgets */
function unregister_default_wp_widgets() {
  unregister_widget('WP_Widget_Meta');
}
add_action('widgets_init', 'unregister_default_wp_widgets', 1);

to remove meta data widgets you don’t need/want. In the above example for instance ‘WP_Widget_Meta’. This overrides the default-widgets.php in your wp-includes where the function resides.

While this removes the entire ‘Meta’ category it is also possible to edit out individual
<li> instances within the same category in wp-includes.

Thank you Abraham!

Thanks Esmi,
Got that by year/month option ticked off.

But what I would really like is for WordPress to not generate all the extra unasked for, un-needed, un-wanted, bloat friendly multiple images. Where can I shut that off?
All I need (want) is the image I post. I have no need for all those extra WP generated images. They can easily double server space requirements… somehow that doesn’t seem right. Tell me there’s someway to turn that “behaviour” off.
Please please. pretty please.
thanks, Stefan

thanks Michael – I got the ‘mod_rewrite’, it seems to be pretty well covered on the web.

What I can’t seem to wrap my head around is the local development directory structure – specifically in my case I’m integrating a WP blog into a non-blog site.

So my existing site is – C:MySite/MyBlog (where I want my blog), and I have Xammp Lite and WP installed – C:xammplite/htdocs/wordpress/ wp-content/themes… and I can log in to WP, localhost, and it’s all peachy and working fine.

What I would like is to be able to keep my existing structure (rather than copying my whole site into the XAMPP Lite structure which can get pretty messy), and set up a Virtual Directory pointing to it.

Is that possible? Or would it be easier to copy what’s needed of the WP file structure into my existing site structure? And if so, what’s needed for WP to run? For WP(dashboard – Theme Management) to recognize a theme from C:MySite/MyBlog ?

some background: I’ve tryed configuring the Xampplite Apache httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf files and the windows host file, but have not got them to recognize, or been able to open my blog from there (C:MySite/MyBlog).

What’s the best way to set this up? – – I’ve done a lot of research on this, but I can’t quite seem to pull it all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
