Hi all,

 

I'm just having my first attempt at creating a WP theme.

 

No massive problems so far but I want to change how some of these functions output but I can't find the relevant code.

 

As an example I want to display the categories so I use <?php wp_list_categories('' ); ?> The thing is I want to change what it outputs (remove the <li> and change a little of the code) - anyone know the folder/directory those functions are written, one of the core WP files?

 

Thanks guys

I don't personally know the answer but ppl I know have managed using this website >http://www.wpdesigner.com/2007/02/19/so-you-want-to-create-wordpress-themes-huh/

 

I hope this helps

<?php wp_list_categories('' ); ?>

 

 

To display the categories, I believe it should look like this

<?php wp_list_categories(); >

 

Is that what you were trying to figure out?

No, I want to change the way it outputs that function. I might have got it sorted now, sort of

Definitely check out the codex (if you haven't already)

Normally helps me out with most problems I encounter

wp_list_categories here

Why would you want to remove the <li>?

 

If you are planning arrange the navigation links side by side instead of top to bottom, you can do it without removing the <li>. Simply set float: left; or float: right in the li tag in the CSS.
