Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the very same issue…

That is so great! You’re awesome. Thanks a million joeysimon

Holy crap Joey! That’s it!

How the hell did you know that?

He had a link to where the widget code came from, so I was hunting for that:

https://www.tomwoods.com/superpac-superbomb-widget/

But like I said, I’ve looked all through the site files and can’t find it, and it’s not there in the widget list. How else might I search?

It’s the animated “superbomb” widget there. You’ll see it appears only on post/archive pages.

He said he actually set it that way on purpose…as in he was actually able to insert the code (somewhere) and set (or code) the properties for what kind of pages it appeared on.

But like I said, I can’t figure out how he did this, or even where this thing is within the website.

Is there a practical way to find it?

Well, technically there isn’t a problem. We just don’t want the widget there anymore and want to remove the code. But I can’t find the dang thing anywhere.

I can’t figure out how he got it there or how it’s even appearing

Another thing is, if you look at the source code for the page as it’s displayed, it shows up labeled as a multimedia box…

<div id="sidebars">
			<div id="multimedia_box" class="custom_box">
				<div id="custom_box">
<center><object classid=".......

And he has the multimedia box enabled as a sidebar, but it’s empty in the widgets list. And on the Design Options page in the Thesis installation, both the Multimedia Box and the Feature Box are disabled.

Yeah hardcoded is the first thing I thought of when it didn’t show up in the widgets list. He’s using Thesis, so I first looked in the custom files, since those would likely be the only ones changed…but when there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary there, I started going through others. Like I was saying, I got so desperate I started to change all the file extensions to txt so I could search the code within the files, but I’ve still turned up nothing.

And I’m almost positive it doesn’t have anything to do with plugins because there aren’t any even active that would be close to that. Most of the plugins are just security ones. The closest thing would be “Shortcode Exec PHP”, which I wouldn’t think would be it, but I deactivated it anyway…still there.

Is there a better way to search for the widget code in the website files?
