Don't link to the search pages and you're good to go.
in that earlier thread I found the article on how to remove the footprint. After looking through it I spotted a major flaw in what the authow was trying to do. Ok, he removed <UL> <li> tags and comments from the plugin but he forgot one very important thing.
The widget itself has an associated class="widget_popular_terms" in HTML which makes it very easy for google to spot who's using it.
editing widget.php helps here
I already done it on my site, it looks just like a bunch of links.. fck u G
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Sidebar Widgets',
'id' => 'sidebar-widgets',
'description' => 'These are widgets for the sidebar.',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2>',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
));
} if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Sidebar Widgets',
'id' => 'sidebar-widgets',
'description' => 'These are widgets for the sidebar.',
'before_widget' => '<div class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2>',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
));
}
ba55meister: You seem to know your stuff on this plugin. Do you know who to make it so that this plugin does NOT ad itself to pages, rather posts only?
