Good point on editing the core files, I hadn’t thought of that. I couldn’t find where to make those changes – or to what extent I needed to make them – and came across that while I was looking. But you’re right: everybody ignore my previous advice and do it the right way. 😉
I’m still shaky on where WP ends and BP begins…lol.
For anybody else who runs into this, I found a quick and easy way: you can change the default number of tags returned in wp-includes/category-template.php
Thanks. Not sure if I know where I should be looking, though. I did find the code below in wp-admin/edit-tags.php. Am I in the right spot? If so, do I delete all of that?
Thanks for the reply. Weird note: I decided to go on transferring content from the current site to this development site, planning to fix that later once I got some responses from those who know better. I added a few posts before I saw your response and as soon as the posts extended to the third line in the main content area, the right column shifted back up to where it should be.
