Hey dudes. Sheez, what's with all the threads on CMS lately? lol

Anyway, I need help with a site that I swiftly set up for someone on Wordpress.

The theme is widget ready which allows me to add stuff to the sidebars. Now, I managed to customize the left hand sidebar but the right sidebar still contains the default wordpress content. I can't seem to remove it even when I go to Appearance > widgets. It shows me the two registered sidebars, but the right hand one is blank while the left hand one obvoisly contains the "pages" widget as you can see on the site.

This is the coding for sidebar.php:
Code:
		<!-- Sidebar -->
		<div class="sidebar">
		
			
			<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>
			
			<?php endif; ?>
		
		</div>
		<!-- Sidebar -->

And this is what functions.php looks like:
Code:
<?php
if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array(
    	'name' => 'Sidebar Left',
        'before_widget' => '',
        'after_widget' => '',
        'before_title' => '<h3>',
        'after_title' => '</h3>',
    ));
    register_sidebar(array(
    	'name' => 'Sidebar Right',
        'before_widget' => '',
        'after_widget' => '',
        'before_title' => '<h3>',
        'after_title' => '</h3>',
    ));
?>

Am I missing something? :wtf: Why can't I get rid of Categories and Blogroll sections in the right hand side?

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi,

First of all, the pizza menu on the site overrides the template. You will need to correct that.

About your problem, if you aren't able to remove the "blogroll" and "categories" on the right sidebar you can always edit the "right.php" file. (Just remove the code that creates the widgets)

Do you want to completely remove the right sidebar or do you only want to remove the widgets?

Thanks realbigdreamer

But I've just checked via FTP and there is no right.php file on the server nor in the admin panel of wordpress. That's something I tried looking into a few days ago as well.

The theme's original files also has right.php missing.

PS. I'm aware of the overriding menu. I kept it like that for now so that the menu text is readable. Will resize it soon.
 
Some WordPress themes make use of another name such as sidebar-right.php

Also, sometimes even if the theme is widget-aware, you can remove the default contents by adding a widget yourself. This will remove all hard-coded elements.

I added a text widget. If you browse back to the site, you'll see the text information below the hard-coded elements.

These are the only theme-related files running the site at the moment: * 404 Template (404.php)
* Comments (comments.php)
* Footer (footer.php)
* Header (header.php)
* Main Index Template (index.php)
* Page Template (page.php)
* Search Results (search.php)
* Sidebar (sidebar.php)
* Single Post (single.php)
* Theme Functions (functions.php)

Styles

* Stylesheet (style.css)
* style_ie.css (style_ie.css)
* style_ie6.css (style_ie6.css)

#content .post .post-entry { margin-top: 10px; }
 
Ahait. Will send you some details.

Razor, I'm going to need your email address.

footer.php was encrypted and handled the sidebar to the right (which was hardcoded). I decrypted it for you and also removed the forced backlinks the template had in it's footer. They really made sure to encrypt this thing to bits (I think I cycled past the 200 mark a few minutes before getting the normal text).

I updated footer.php for you, you can now modify it as per normal (I reckon you'd want to get rid of the hard-coded stuff like Categories/Blog Roll and make it entirely widget driven) and I kept the original footer.php if you want to revert back for whatever reason.

net-tec.biz are a bunch of *******s... but 30-40min into it you have a free template without backlinking forced to their site ;)

Hey thanks a lot Acid! You are a legend!
 
Except for these fact that it's:
  1. Flash
  2. The whole page reloads when you click on one of the links
Yeah - it's pretty useless though. You click a tag and it just reloads the page and displays the menu... :confused:

Just a small crit on the design: The cut-out / bevel effect on pretty much every single page division kinda spoils the design. Consider using them sparingly, or rather use a drop-shadow on the body container to raise it above the 2 sidebars...
 
I can't seem to remove it even when I go to Appearance > widgets.

I've spent about 10 minutes in total on wordpress and I've no idea what acidrazor was on about, but I successfully removed those by deleting them (or selecting 'keep this link private') in the LINKS menu on the dashboard.
Glad your problem is solved though...
 
I've spent about 10 minutes in total on wordpress .

That's because I fixed it? *edit* I assumed you saw the code, but having read your post again, 10 minutes into wordpress isn't much experience, so I'll explain to you quick, PHP code can be encrypted by gzipping/str_rot13 the code and eval()'ing it. It's a way to hide code. The code was hidden/encrypted in the footer which had to be decrypted and placed in there without any other bull**** so dicebat could make the changed you did in 10 minutes...

This was the original footer.php:

Code:
<? eval(gzinflate(base64_decode('HZzHcutQdkV/xTN3FwbIqdx2F3LOGRMXIpETkb/elOePT8S95+y9lkTp3//zr3//R3Vmwz8+bzvVQ7ZX/8izb0Vg/1tWxVxW//hPMX3lfr2VvQ/BJSrL1HmdZ1v3h2YzNt1U42ohuGEpsDKt4JKP+kwr7VFeEJzqGgTxEJVGMARDCLuHCSDFGB4J0fGRGp3uqdb

*SNIPPED SO THAT IT FITS IN TO THE POST*

vUTuCNfTaRh4YHt6YT2NajI0eB/4ZbEyq9G+Hia+YrcAKWT9UQUw3/TyxW0/T6guVklt58Fcw3u+gKuIg6Bq1A9jiSs/y6qY7A0Fz//5ex0xNdyBqPjc5LitcMQiC9d+fv51iGwRJ8gVB/vrv//7Pf/7zn//1H//+n3/9+/8A'))); ?>

Which contained this when decrypted, aka, un-gziped and str_rot13'ed:

Code:
<!-- Sidebar -->
		<div class="sidebar sidebar-right">
		
			<h3>Categories</h3>
			<ul>
				<?php wp_list_categories('title_li='); ?>
			</ul>
			
			<h3>Blogroll</h3>
			<ul>

				<?php wp_list_bookmarks('categorize=0&title_li='); ?>
			</ul>
			
			<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : ?>
			
			<?php endif; ?>

Now *how* I found out that the right hand side bar was encrypted in the footer was to add <!-- check here --> type markers into the html...I couldn't find those anywhere near the right hand side bar ("<div class="sidebar sidebar-right">") so a quick Google search later someone mentioned not using templates with encrypted footers and I immediately went to check the footer.php file... which was encrypted. I then took the time to echo the code (without the eval) each time till it gave me the unencrypted version as above.

I then took out the forced back links as explained and updated the footer.php file for him. This took about 30-40 min of my time to do. So I assume if you checked it after 18:10 yesterday, you would have seen the fixed version

I really appreciate all your effort Acid! Why did they hard code the right side-bar though? That doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Do you have a special wordpress distribution or special template on top of it or something?

The version I downloaded last week from wordpress.org certainly doesn't need any radical surgery performed on it to remove the right side-bar links!!
 
Thanks for the lesson:) As you say, 10 minutes experience isn't much!

Yea, and most people miss those encrypted **** some "free" templates have in them... if these guys didn't encrypt/hardcode the right hand side bar like they did, they might still have some backlinks going to their site ;)
