Hello-
I'm building a WP site related to the health industry. I've noticed that on the home page that the Meta catagory (and I have no catagories) is listed along the right column with clickable links that give access to the admin panel.
I've looked far and wide in the admin panel as to how to delete this but I can't find anywhere how to do this. I've clicked on everything in the admin panel but found nothing to give me that option to do so.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thx
with clickable links that give access to the admin panel
Only registered users (and of course the admin).
You can change this in your template files (wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME). I think it will be in your sidebar.php. Search after this code:
<li><h2>Meta</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_register(); ?>
<li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
<li><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer" title="This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Transitional">Valid <abbr title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/"><abbr title="XHTML Friends Network">XFN</abbr></a></li>
<li><a href="http://wordpress.org/" title="Powered by WordPress, state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform.">WordPress</a></li>
<?php wp_meta(); ?>
</ul>
</li>
<?php } ?>(or something similar, because that´s the code from the default theme). Change it or delete it.

If you aren't comfortable editing code, you might also try this:
In Admin>Design>Widgets see if the widget can be removed. If it says you aren't using any widgets, try adding one. Some themes come with a default set of widgets in the sidebar, and adding any will replace them all.
MoonbatWingnut you are right - I always forget about widgets because I never used them and there is a widget called "meta". So it can be removed easily.
