That worked! Thanks. I just put {list-style: none;} right after #sidebar in style.css. I have lost the style of the default sidebar with the theme but thats something i should learn about anyway.

p.s a tutorial on importing linked graphics to the sidebar would be awesome

thanky very much!

Glad my codes were helpful. For your current problem:

Open your style.css

Look for your id sidebar. #sidebar

Then look for the #sidebar ul or something with your specific class.

Add this:

list-style: none;
list-style-type: none;

That should take care of the problem.

Let me know whatever the outcome is whether its fixed or not

Thanks for the information. I could not find it anywhere else.
It Works great,I had a problem - when i say put in 234 it will show only 123 and never the sidebar I want to access, i.e if i input 2345678 it will only show 7 sidebars, and still i could not access the one that is really active.

so i looked at the source and sidebar code, still couldnt figure it out.

So what i did was delete it all and use your code, now I can see the active widgets displayed

All i wanna do now is take off the bullet points, any tips on that?

Thanks again for your help this saved me a lot of trouble.

I am glad you liked my tutorial. I made an account on codex and wrote on only one thread. I just can’t find time to go there. I wish I can make my own article saying how to make a dynamic sidebar and sticky it on WP Codecs. If you find people you are welcome to link them to this site.

Thank you for the tips! It helped me a lot. Now I have two sidebars fully working in my website!!

You should try contribute to Wordpress Codex with this video. I haven’t found a clue on this issue in there.

Thanks for the great tutorial. I will have to try this out. I was going to ask you, how do you experiment with Wordpress, do you have a test blog set up because thats what I do.

Lovely post Syed, I had never heard of such a thing before. Sounds very logical and very useful. But I still like to edit the code itself. My sidebars generally have no widgets at all. I like to put everything in the codes

You should really upgrade to WP 2.5
It is much much better!
