Change title of "Meta"

CMS & WordPress
1

I need to keep the “Meta” widget in the sidebar, so that users can login. I would like to rename it something other than “Meta” I would also like to remove everything except the Login and Logout options.

Can anyone help me? I am using wordpress 3.0

Thanks!!

Actually I’m using a theme that I created with Artisteer. You can view it here: http://art2stem.org/home/

I just added this line to my sidebar and didn’t use the widget. Just gives a Login or Logout (if logged in) link.

<?php wp_loginout(); ?>

JustDucky,

I assume you’re using the Twenty_Ten theme that came with WordPress 3.0. If you are, you’ll simply want to edit the sidebar.php file. Open it up and around line 34 you’ll see the following:

<h3 class="widget-title"><?php _e( 'Meta', 'twentyten' ); ?></h3>

Simply change the text where it says ‘Meta’ to what you wish it to be. Then simply comment out or delete the other lines that you don’t want :

<?php wp_register(); ?>
					<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
					<?php wp_meta(); ?>

becomes

<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>

BTW, it’s usually a good idea to back up the theme before editing it in case you mess anything up, you can always restore it to the original state.
