   Hello,

   On my blog there is a number of sidebar widgets to the right. However, these are not active in the "widgets" section of the admin panel. I don't want them since they're just taking up space there, but I can't delete them from the admin panel.

   How can I fix that and delete the unwanted widgets?

   Thank you,
   LawnSignMaker

   In the 'StudioPress' theme, the sidebar contents are hard-coded in sidebar.php. Save the original sidebar.php to sidebar-original.php, and use the code below as sidebar.php:

   <div id="allsidebars">
   
   <div class="sidebarswrapper"><div class="sidebars">
   
   <?php if (get_option('greeting') || get_option('welcomemessage')) {
     echo "<div id='welcome'>";
     if (get_option('greeting')) {
       echo "<h2>" . get_option('greeting') . "</h2>";
       }
     if (get_option('welcomemessage')) {
       echo "<p>" . get_option('welcomemessage') . "</p>";
       }
     echo "</div>";
     } else {
     echo "<div id='welcome'><h2>Welcome!</h2><p>To customize this message, please go to your Admin panel and find Presentation->Theme Options. Modify at will!</p></div>";
   }
   
   ?>
   
   <div class="sidebarsbottom"></div>
   </div> <!-- Closes Sidebars -->
   </div> <!-- Closes SidebarsWrapper -->
   
   <div class="sidebarsB">
   
   <div class="adsense_sidebar"><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/adsense_sidebar336.php'); ?></div>
   
   <div class="sidebar1">
   <ul>
   
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar1') ) : ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   
   </ul>
   
   </div> <!-- Closes Sidebar1 -->
   
   <div class="sidebar2">
   
   <ul>
   <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('sidebar2') ) : ?>
   
   <?php endif; ?>
   </ul>
   
   </div> <!-- Closes Sidebar2 -->
   <div class="cleared"></div>
   </div> <!-- Closes SidebarsB -->
   
   </div> <!-- Closes allsidebars -->

   This has been tested only a little!

   Thanks! It seems to be working.

   Did you do this yourself or is this a known problem with studio-press theme?
