The links in the sidebar are actually sibling pages of the current page.

Such links are displayed on all pages which are using “Sidebar – Left with Child Pages” template (so the exact list depends on the current page).


Each page link on the left side in the “Sidebar – Left with Child Pages” has been generated using the page’s original title.

So, the only way to change the text title in the sidebar is to change the actual page’s title in WordPress:

  1. go to WP admin -> Pages;
  2. open the page for editing, change the title and save changes.

Please note that after that it is possible to continue using the old page title in the main menu:

  1. go to WP admin -> Appearance -> Menus;
  2. locate the menu and the desired page, and change the “Navigation Label” text.

This helpful short video illustrates the entire process.



If you want to completely remove this list, the easiest way is to use a different page template, like e.g. “Full Width”.

There are other ways, but that one is the quickest.

Please note that page template “Sidebar – Left” is using the “Primary” sidebar, not the “Child Pages” sidebar.

So, switching to that one will replace entire sidebar area.
