Re: Creating links in my sidebar
Hi @pjtna,
There are many ways to accomplish what you want, depending essentially of your php/html knowledge.
First thing you have to do anyway is to create a child theme.
Second, IMO, the easiest would be to create a widget with help of the TextWidget delivered with WP and phpexec plugin. This plugin allows to insert php, css and HTML into the TextWidget. No need then to hack into the sidebar file.
Note: you can search on this forum with Google. Use `buddypress.org: your search terms`
This would bring you many answers.
And apologize if I push an opened door
