Default widgets! Search for ever still no answer!

  • How do your remove ARCHIVES, LINKS, CATAGORIES for side bar.

    Ive seen this question ask a millions times all over the net with no answer. The answer is alway go into your widgets and remove them.

    Well sorry but the default widgets arent there as stated by many people who dont have them in the widget editor. Also mention is edit the sidebar.php but with no code example of what to remove.

    Im using 2.8 with flexibility theme.

    the url is https://nlci.ca

    Really apreciate any help!

  • Without messing with code you might be able to remove the items in the sidebar by simply removing all widgets from the sidebar in the WordPress editor… Then add a new text widget to the sidebar (but do not add any text). For some themes this will remove the sidebar completely. Or you may want to edit the sidebar.php file. To remove Archives, for example, you might delete the following line of code (or something similar):

    <?php wp_get_archives(); ?>

    It could also be that what you’re seeing isn’t widgets (the drag’n’drop things in Admin/Appearance/Editor) but the default, widget-less, sidebar and that your sidebar simply isn’t widget-compatible.

    Ditto @esmi. You probably just see the default sidebar.

    As long as your theme can use a dynamic sidebar, just go into your Appearance > Widget menu and add a widget that you actually want, the others should then go away.

    If you don’t want ANY widgets WHATSOEVER — go to Appearance > Widgets and add a text widget, leave it blank, and save.

    I don’t want to sound like a jerk about it… but if you don’t know how to edit sidebar.php, you probably should be editing anything on wordpress. Your best bet is to go with a widget-ready theme and use the widget editor under Appearance>Widgets
