widget pages in sidebar

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I have one ‘widget page’ in my sidebar
    titled ‘shop around’
    where I have wine stores listed.
    I would like to add another widget page to the side bar
    one titled ‘wine around town’
    where I can have a listing of wine bars
    that looks like ‘shop around’ but is separate.
    How can I do this??

    Thanks!

    The widget you have in your sidebar is a text widget that is linking to your wine stores page. You had to have coded that manually. If you want another text widget, just add it in Design>widgets.

    (However, I must say it seems like an awful lot of work for you to code that widget when it only goes to the page where the information is shown.)

    Thanks for your quick reply!
    However, it’s not a text widget.
    I added “shop around”
    in Design>widgets>pages
    but it only allows me to add one ‘page’.

    If I were to use another text widget it wouldn’t appear
    the same as the pages under “shop around.”

    Thanks.

  • You can only use one “Pages” widget, as it simply reflects all pages that have been added to your blog.

    You could, alternatively, create a text widget and place your new link set in there. So, you would have something like this:

    <h2>Wine Around Town</h2>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.link1.com">Link 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.link2.com">Link 2</a></li>
    </ul>

    Or, you could add a new Link Category (Wine Around Town), and place all of your links under that particular category. All the links – and the category title – would then display with your “Links” widget.

    Ah – you’re using the pages widget. (It looked like a text widget because I didn’t see the subpages.) The pages widget only shows ALL of the pages on your blog. You are not going to have a separate pages widget for each page. So if you have a Wine Bars page (which is what you had when I looked earlier), it is going to show up on that same pages widget.

    That’s what I was afraid of…
    Oh well-

    Thanks for your suggestions!
