Hello,

I’m trying to customise the login widget as I need to remove the dropdown and replace it with a single link (I only have one category).

The problem is all the HTML code is all jumbled up in the PHP and it’s not an action I can replace in the usual way. How would you recommend I do this please?

Hi,

you’ll need someone to help you read and alter the PHP code.

As you can imagine this goes beyond support we can provide, if you wish I can move this inside the Jobs forum.

let us know,

Thanks

Hi Paolo,

I am a developer so able to do the work myself. However, I do not want to modify the core code as we all know the problems that come from doing that.

Is there any way to modify the login/add listing module without messing about with the core code?

Hi,

it is a widget class. You can copy the entire class into your theme functions.php, rename all the parts of the class that needs to be renamed to create a new widget and then customize its code. It will be safe from updates. You will have a new personalized widget and if you want you can even unregister the orginal to avoid having the unused widget between your options.

Thanks
