Hard coded widgets
-
Maybe I’m being completely naive here, but I’m not a PHP coder and it’s very annoying to find that a blog template has some unknown widgets that a non-programmer has absolutely no control over. There are no plugins that you can update to delete them and no reference to them in the wp-admin area. It’s pure programmer stuff.
Ignoring the fact that extraneous widgets that do nothing are ugly and annoy viewers, what is the point of hard coding them into the WordPress template?
I found one WordPress template that not only had empty widgets in the sidebars, but the navigation bar was a graphic that couldn’t be changed unless you edited the image AND the header.php file.
Is there a simple and easy way, involving plain English, to dump those hard coded widgets? I hate to keep downloading WordPress templates and then finding out there’s a bunch of hard coded stuff in the template.
Am I missing something here?
