Remove specific sidbar widgets

  • When I installed the free version of the Vega Theme, it automatically picked up my menu structure and displays it on all pages, and displays it on each page in the right sidebar. On some pages I fixed this by selecting “Full Page” in the page edit area. But now I am unable to use sidebars in those pages.
    I went to WordPress Admin and looked in each widget area and all were empty. How can I remove the menu tree from each page?
    I also have the same situation with the footer (it’s turned off). I am unable to remove from the footer what the theme has automatically displayed.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi there,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    Do you mean the sidebar visible on this page: https://lukester.dunbarfirstbaptist.org/contact-us/
    It may comes from Demo content. Please go to Appearance → Customize → General Setup and turn off “Enable Demo?” option.

    Hope that helps. Thank you for your time in this.

    Best regards

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, the page I’m talking about is: lukester.dunbarfirstbaptist.org
    I made the changes you suggested but I still have the menu tree showing up.

    Okay, I think I fixed it. Or a at least found another workaround. Placing a widget in the Default Widget area in WordPress admin prevents the menu tree from displaying in the sidebar.
    But, placing a widget in the Page Sidebar does not show the widget, nor does it prevent the menu tree from displaying.
    Any comments would be great!
    I wonder if Jetpack’s widget visibility options has an effect?

    @pluto008 It really depends on what visibility options you’ve set up. We can take a look if you can send us details via https://www.lyrathemes.com/support/

    Default widgets show up if you have the demo content turned on. Once you turn it off, only the widgets assigned to that location will be showing up.

    Hello,

    I have the exact same issue, did you manage to fix it?

    The demo content is turned off, and I have some menus added to the sidebar widget. The weird thing is that on editing mode I can see my actual menus, but when coming out of it the default menus are shown again. And my actual ones not.

    Thank you

    Hi @larraioz.

    This is how the sidebar looks like from my side – https://prnt.sc/iiraa9

    I don’t know if this is what you expect to see, but as a reminder, if you use any caching plugin on your website, make sure that you purge/empty cache after making changes like that.

    Please tell me whether the sidebar contains what you expect to see?

    Kind regards.

    Hello @siniplyrathemes,

    The sidebar looks as in your screenshot. The issue is that that’s not the sidebar I set up, that’s the default sidebar which I cannot seem to control. I’m trying to hide that one and make mine visible.

    See the screenshot: https://prueba.larraioz.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Captura2-1.png

    This is what I see when in editing mode, my custom sidebar. But when closing editing mode the one I can see is just the default one, the one of your screenshot. I purge cache everytime I make changes… So I don’t really know why can this be. Any idea?

    Thank you

    Well @larraioz, the only idea I have right now is to take a look myself, but since I’m not allowed to ask you for login credentials here if you want you can go to https://www.lyrathemes.com/contact/ and open a ticket and someone will take it from there.

    Kind regards.
