Editing The Erudite

Also, try the Theme Options. One of the following two options may be what you’re looking for:

* Disable ‘Keep Reading’ (Turns off the dynamic Keep Reading / Put Away functionality on the homepage if it doesn’t suit your fancy’)
* Disable Header/Footer Hiding (Turns off the dynamic show/hide functionality of the header and footer)

If you go to sidebar.php, it should be hiding there.

If that’s the case, then the issue is that no Widgets have been added to the dynamic sidebar, thus causing the default content to appear.

Go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets, and add some Widgets to Sidebar 3.

Glad you got it sorted!

So which was the solution?

Also, could you mark the topic as “Resolved”, in order to facilitate others finding solutions to similar problems?

Did you actually change the template file?

Note that, if you did so, your changes will get over-written when the Theme is updated.

These questions are dead simple to answer, if you’re using Chrome Developer Tools (in Chrome: right click, “Inspect Element”) or Firefox Firebug.
