    I am having problem with my second website, which I use with Atahualpa 3.4.2. On my first website i had no problems and all went smoothly. On my second website, all is fine with the Left Sidebar, where I managed to get rid of the default widgets and place news one instead but have tried lots of things with the Righ Sidebar without sucess - on the site it is still the default widgets, even if on the Appearance/Widgets admin page, i place new widgets, they still do not appear on the Righ Sidebar. And no, I am not confusing Right Sidebar with Right Inner Sidebar. Any clues? Happy to send pictures if you message me privately (aredorange AT hotmail DOT com). All help will be most appreciated.

    To change the sidebar options go to Appearance -> Widgets, and drag and drop what you want to and from your sidebars. If it won't let you drag and drop them, go to Screen Options(in the upper right corner) and Enable Accessibility Mode.

    To change the default links in your Blogroll, go to Links -> Edit. You can edit the existing ones or remove them. Then you can add new ones if you want.

    I did that - did drag and drop on the right sidebar and it appears fine on my widgets admin page. But when i check it on the website, no effect and the default widgets by WordPress are still there... Furthermore, I deleted all Links (blogroll, etc) but they still appear... and even an old post, that was deleted while ago, still apears on the website... no idea what is happening as this is my second WordPress site and all went fine with my first one... strange thing is also that despite i use same WordPress version (latest one) and same theme, the widgets admin page look different...

    It appears to be fine now. Perhaps it is simply being cached by WP-Super-Cache or something like that.

    I needed to uninstall everything and I am re-installing it plugin by plugin, to identify which plugin is causing the problem (I assume the problem was a plugin conflict). So far so good but I am still on the re-installation process...
