How to customise links
-
I would like to know how I can edit links on the blog. I can’t find the option for removing links that was added automatically to the theme! Why making it so difficult!! My 2007 WordPress blog is SO MUCH easier! Come on WordPress, we want to teach children how to blog and you make it so hard for the adults!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey learningblog1234,
Please mention the links you’re talking about.
Are you talking about the sidebar, menu, footer or any other?

Hi Ravichahar, I would like to add links to the sidebar and also, links that’s default, remove from the links widget. I hope this makes sense?
-
Just go to customize>>Widgets>>Sidebar and you will all the widgets which are already added to the sidebar.
You can delete any of these. To add a new widget, click on “Add a Widget” button and you will see a list of widgets.
Depending on your requirements, you can choose any.

hi! Thank you, I do understand all of that. But how do I go about to add new links. In my old blog it was super easy. I have the ‘links’ link in the menu in the WordPress admin side and when I click on ‘links’ I can add a new link, I can edit links etc. But, in this template, I can’t do the same. This is my problem. I try to work out WHERE to do that. Once the widget is there, there are some default links. I want to add on to those and delete the default links, which I don’t need.
-
You can now see the widget with the links on the side bar, I’ve added it on now. I don’t want those links in the widget called, ‘Blogroll’ – I want to add my own.
-
So you want to link the text to the different pages of your own choice.
Use the “Text” widget from the list and it will be just like your blog post editor.
You can write something and link it to whatever page you want.
For the current widgets, you can remove them. As you’re using the “Tag Cloud, Pages, Categories etc. Just remove the one you don’t want.

hi! Thank you for the help. I don’t think this is what I want. :) I don’t want to link any link to any text. I do now how to do those. I want to add an outside link to the blog. e.g. On the sidebar I want to create a section saying: Maths. Then I want to add 10 links where children can practise their maths skills. I have a class blog and that’s what I do. I want to go to the blogroll – you can see it – and remove all those links. Children don’t need those links. I can’t get rid of them at the moment. How do I do that? :)

I don’t know who WordPress makes things so complicated. I have used class blogs (WordPress) over the past 7 years. None of those are so tricky as this one! I tried a few themes and they are all like this. Why this kind of change and make it hard for anyone tricky. I am quite techie-savvy and this is not easy!

Please read this. https://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/edit-a-blogroll-link/
You can edit the current Blogrolls from your admin area. Just click on wp-admin and you will see the classic dashboard where you can find “Links” showing as Blogrolls

Hello, sorry to be a pain, but WP_Admin is now showing in the dashboard – this is what I’ve been looking for all the time and that’s why I say it’s not easy.
-
On the about page, I’ve now uploaded another screenshot – this is what my dashboard looks like:
-
Please directly open this URL. https://learningblog1234.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
It will show you the dashboard from which you have to find “Links” in the left-side menu.
Then click on “All Links” and you will see all the Blogrolls.

If I’m out of the blog, click on ‘my site’ then I don’t see anything saying ‘dashboard’ why is it? This is my worry that I won’t find this dashboard link again- the classic one. So, this means I have to keep this link you left.
