I had a similar problem with the “Recent Comments” sidebar widget that wouldn’t leave no matter what I did. Hopefully this will work for you too. I use the theme splendido, though. Anyway, so I went to my dashboard then “Appearance” then the “Editor” which is an option under it. Then i went over to the right hand side of the page it brings up to “Sidebar sidebar.php” There you may choose to comment out what codes for “flickr comments” if the option is there. For me, the coders that made the site showed were Recent comments were coded for between <!--HTML comments like this one-->. Hopefully that will be the case for you as well. Once you find that, you’ll want to go between the tags of php and comment out flickr stuff so it will look like this
<?php /* COMMENTED OUT FLICKR CODE (if random code about flickr)
*more random code
*more random code
*even more
*/?>
making sure to add those stars before each line of code.
If it doesn’t work off the bat, you may have not commented enough out. Try commenting more in case there is more php involved than you previously thought.
The good thing about commenting is you can come back and undo what you did by just erasing the stars and slashes so I urge you to do that rather than just erase. Also make a note to yourself about what you did just in case you want it back later as I did above.
Hope this helped!
