There is no such thing as a wp_options database “file” to my knowledge. Are you referring to the wp_options table? Maybe you’re working with sql files or something in a way I’m not familiar with? If you wiped the database table, how did you go about replacing it with a clean one? And if this … Read more
Camilia, this is super easy to do with existing plugins, which you can find here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=social+media But if you’re keen to the coding yourself, and you have widgets in place, you could simply use the text widget that also allows for html and manually add your social media links something like: <a href=”http://twitter.com/YourUsername”>Twitter</a><a href=”http://facebook.com/YourPage”>Facebook</a> If … Read more

get_sidebar(‘dfth’) looks for a sidebar-dfth.php file in your template directory. If not found, it loads the default sidebar. To call the sidebar you registered in a template, use e.g. <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘dfth’ ) ) : ?> <div class=”first dfth-widgets”> <?php dynamic_sidebar( ‘dfth’ ); ?> </div><!– .first –> <?php endif; ?>
